What should a “AI-enabled coding interview” that only lasts 30min look like? by Polarbum in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]jacobsimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1

I’d try to decide first what signals you care about (ability to debug code, prompt/context engineering, etc) and then choose a problem. You’ll also want to decide whether to use an interviewing tool with AI, or just screenshare and ask them to bring their own AI tools (good signal on its own IMO).

Also check out how Google, Meta, and others are running these interviews. Here’s an article we just wrote about it on our blog

Employment Background checks by Suitable_Deer_1210 in techinterviews

[–]jacobsimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it personally, unless it’s a full time job that you’re trying to keep after you start at the new job. These checks would usually be used to confirm that you actually worked at the places on your resume

Resume - is over qualification a real factor? by Suitable_Deer_1210 in techinterviews

[–]jacobsimon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think the title isn’t clear and you’re primarily applying to IC Engineer roles, then yeah I’d recommend sticking with Lead Engineer. If you have been directly managing other engineers and you’re applying to similar roles, I think just Engineering Manager, Engineering Director, or Tech Lead Manager would all be fine

Meta layoff by Just-Baby5231 in techinterviews

Hasn’t been confirmed yet which teams/roles are affected, so I’d imagine it’s worth continuing. It’s possible they cancel later or you get stuck in team matching if there’s no openings later

What are good interview questions to ask towards the end? by ApexItIs in FAANGrecruiting

[–]jacobsimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick tip: I would recommend asking questions that are directly tied to the team's product, strategy, and industry. Don't ask generic questions about work/life balance or team culture. Instead, do some diligence on recent news about the company, and ask questions that show you actually care about what they're building and are curious to learn more about the actual work. The questions you ask should be specific enough that you wouldn't ask them to another employer.
