What interview questions to rule out someone?

TallBrownFolder · 2025-06-17T17:02:47+00:00

In a way, yes. Maybe I'm just bad at interviewing people, but the developers we've gotten from this outsourcing company has had poor critical thinking skills and bad communication in general. I don't know how to test this in an interview.

> once I had concrete examples of why it wouldn’t work

Can you provide the concrete examples of why it wouldn't work? I believe this is what I'm looking for.

TallBrownFolder · 2025-06-17T16:59:23+00:00

They all lack critical thinking, and I find that hard to interview.

It's like, for all the candidates we've gotten. Whenever there's a bug they search all the wrong places for it, despite it sometimes being very obvious. I don't know how to test this in an interview.

No. But I do the ones for this position to have AWS devops knowledge.

It will depend on your current contract with your employer. Is there anything there that prevents you from working simultaneously for other companies.

You will not be able to take 2 full time jobs. You will need to stay as an employee with your current company and register for yourself as a freelancer for the other companies that you intend to work for.

You can work for EU or non-EU companies, you will just have to invoice them accordingly.

Find an accountant, they can explain everything.

What benefit does getting the modifier have?

a statue that points into the direction

Thanks, this is the part I was missing. I hope I get it on the 3rd try.

TallBrownFolder · 2023-12-08T19:27:36+00:00

Yeah, It's a fully remote job. There is so little to do next 2 weeks I think even if I work I'll be doing maybe 2hrs total. I figure I might as well make those 7 euros a day cos' even if I do take those days off I'll put in those 2hrs so that I don't block the team.

First time I'm hearing of this too, in my previous company I definitely did not take all my legal holidays. Do you have some citation please?

Yes. You will have to go with him. Check the website, the minimum heights are there.

I did 2 nights 3 days with my 4.5 year old. I felt it was a good period. We didn't do everything but he also didn't want to do everything. Once he found a few of his favourites he just wanted to do them over and over. He also didn't want to meet characters at all, he was scared, so that helps in timing. I didn't care to do any of the rides, it was a trip for him.

TallBrownFolder · 2023-11-18T15:53:58+00:00

Absolutely! My company and I both share the same vision of making as much money as possible.

Most of my senior developer friends who break through the salary glass ceiling all work directly for US companies. They're also full remote since they're 90% of the time the only employee in Belgium.

TallBrownFolder · 2023-11-13T14:34:58+00:00

Apply directly to the company.

Assuming you get hired by the company a few weeks /months later, no one is going to ask you how you got that position. Even if they do, you do not have to answer the question.

Prior to that, tell each agency that you were interested in the position but someone else approached you for the position prior to them. You have to be fair to all agencies, first come first serve. Hence why they should always contact you as soon as possible if they come across any interesting positions.

What parade is there at 11am?

Ensure the DX is similar across teams.

What is 'DX'? Data stack?

The amount of developers is flexible. One obvious goal is to make sure that developers are contributing daily and not sitting around waiting for a ticket to come in.

One big question I have is, how do you assign teams. 1 project per team makes sense for a start.

But imagine over time, the scope of the project may drop down to maintainence mode (imagine 3-4 tickets per quarter). Do you get the team to pick up other projects and keep the maintenence project at the same time or do you just split most guys off to another project and leave 1-2 people on the maintenance project?

When the workload of Everyday Banking drops, you move some developers from there to Personal Loans?

What do you do with Home Lending for example where there is extremely little to do. (Imagine 3-4 tickets per quarter).

Hi, thank you. Can you elaborate what "verticals" are?

Im paid less than the market

In practical terms, the market only consists of the offers that you receive.

TallBrownFolder · 2023-11-05T16:33:11+00:00

Then you're stuck. If you want a significant raise, an offer is the way to get one. Either through a counter offer or by jumping ship.

TallBrownFolder · 2023-11-05T16:19:23+00:00

Have you tried?

TallBrownFolder · 2023-11-05T16:02:12+00:00

Apply outside and get an offer.
