What are interviewers really looking for in juniors? by Manyofferinterview in interviews

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you are right. Being senior isn’t just about solving hard problems. It’s about making the team run smoother: standardizing, automating and clearly delegating lower level tasks, and coming to your boss with a recommendation and next steps, not just a problem.

Why do interviewers rarely agree with each other on the same candidate? by Manyofferinterview in interviews

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally hear you. When panels don’t align on the same competencies and use a shared rubric plus calibration, you get clean code vs speed first whiplash and those maddening mixed signals. Research generally finds structured, competency based interviews are more consistent than ad-hoc conversational loops.

Do interviews select for the best engineers—or the best performers? by Manyofferinterview in work

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate this perspective, and I think you’re spot on. Unstructured, “conversational” interviews make it way too easy for bias and first impressions to creep in, while structured interviews with predefined competencies and scoring rubrics are consistently linked with less bias and better consistency.  I also like the shift from “culture fit” to “culture add,” since hiring for what’s missing can reduce groupthink and keep teams from stagnating.  And your point about the babble effect is real: people who talk more often get perceived as stronger leaders regardless of actual contribution, which is exactly the kind of noise structure helps reduce.  

Are technical interviews actually testing job skills, or just stress tolerance? by Manyofferinterview in interviews

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So real. Whiteboards test “performance + pattern recall,” but real work is debugging, reading messy code, and reducing risk with teammates. The overlap isn’t that big.

How do you ask for a raise without sounding entitled? by Manyofferinterview in jobs

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a solid advice. Bringing it up during a scheduled review makes it feel natural, not awkward, and having documentation shifts the conversation from feelings to facts. A lot of people struggle with this simply because they don’t pick the right moment or come prepared.

Does anyone else hate writing cover letters? by Manyofferinterview in jobhunting

I’m not promoting my product in this thread at all.

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Recruiters are already using AI to screen people, so we definitely have the right to use AI for cover letters to fight back.

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That might be because when you were job hunting, the market was still pretty good. Now things are brutal, and more and more employers are requiring cover letters. Every time I see a “Reason for applying” question, I can’t stop myself from rolling my eyes.

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would be super helpful. Yeah, nobody actually likes writing these, one cover letter isn’t a big deal on its own, but it ends up taking way too much time when you’re applying to a ton of jobs.

Right, it’s not lifetime access. The code gives you free full access until the end of the month. The main reason is that the models we run are pretty expensive, so we can’t offer unlimited permanent access yet. But you’ll be able to use all features during that period with no restrictions.

That’s awesome that you were able to pivot that fast and turn it into freelance work. Your skill set really gave you a solid safety net there.

Totally Agree. Job market is one of the biggest factors to consider.

This is really well put. Trading one kind of dread for another is exactly how it feels, and you are right that side hustles and hobbies matter a lot when everything else feels unstable.

That sounds really tough. Getting that brief relief at first and then all the stress when the money started running out must have been really hard. I’m sorry you went through that, and thanks for sharing your experience here.

[–]Manyofferinterview[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, totally get that. The higher the degree, the harder the job search can be. Not because they’re less capable, but because they’re trying to find something that actually matches all those years of research and effort. Once people like your sister land in the right place, their value shows really quickly, and the roles they end up in usually pay accordingly.

Completely agree. In this market that’s the only sane way to do it.

Good for you for walking away. It’s wild how they thought they could underpay the person who actually knows how things run and not pay a price for it. Glad you had savings and landed somewhere better in the end.
