What do you think of start ups that have postions called Director, managing data engineers, but the interview process includes 2 levels of hands-on technical tests.
It’s been years since I have written code. I am not very eager to invest my time and effort In preparing and then ultimately failing. Equally worried about the work expectations where I may be asked to review code along with managing customers,sales and product team. Love it and hate it. Has anybody experienced this kind of a role?

I think it’s not unusual to get hands-on with code or data at the director level. Understanding what your engineers are dealing with and how you can make their daily lives easier is a good skill (but you shouldn’t be executing on bug tickets either)

However, focusing on coding tests in an interview is a 🚩 that they don’t understand how to interview for the role they need to fill.
