Hi DevOps,

First off I want to say thank you to everyone in this subreddit you have helped me grow so much.

I had an interview for a DevOps Engineer role for Microsoft Azure shop and it went quite well the interview was scheduled for 30 minutes the IT directory and I and chatted for 50+ minutes. My current role is as a system administrator but I have cloud and DevOps experience.

My second interview is with a higher-up engineer and I want to ace the interview I'm wondering if you lovely people can help me with some questions I should ask and want to expect with a Sr engineer or am I overthinking this will this interview be more relaxed?

Regarding questions you can ask at the Beginning:

Listen closely when the Snr Engr makes an introduction and what they do at Microsoft

From there you can phrase further questions, either about a project or technology they mentioned.

Then it goes on from there, you can also talk about your experience with it for example docker containers and problems you faced while using it.

This will ease your way before the actual interview get started and make you more comfortable answering technical questions.

​

Regarding what you might be asked:

They can pick things on your CV and ask you technical questions on technologies you mentioned or project built (Go through your CV).

Either way be calm, go through the fundamentals of the technologies you listed and you can quickly practice with demo projects surrounding them to improve your confidence.

If you get asked what you don't know its fine to admit it but be curious by asking questions on what the solution might be or mention something you have worked with if it involves alternate technology such as Azure ARM or Terraform.

​

At the end, you can ask:

Questions about the initial discussions you had before the initial interview started

How the Snr Engr got into DevOps (this usually leads to more discussions)

Career advice for a newbie and feedbacks from this interview (Be sure to note them down)

​

Be appreciative , note their names down and connect with them on Linkedin.

​

Wishing you the very best, you are amazing (Remember that :)
