I am staff, but did not have any technical. Sr mgr told me that when they interview they look more to see if youre someone that they would want to work with daily, with assumption you must have been good enough to pass initial screenings. Good luck!

Completely depends on the interviewer. I work with 2 directors on the sane team. One asks technical questions and they people he hires are usually failures. One doesn’t ask any technical questions and just spends the time chatting and getting to know the candidate and the people he hires are usually really great

At the senior level, I wouldn’t ask technical questions. I’d ask more about the types of work the person had been doing and spend some time trying to gage personality fit.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring?

Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
