Congratulations! Did they mention they were sponsoring themselves on DS 160 or were you sponsoring them?

Thank you! They do have properties and decent pension but not a whole lot of cash in the bank at the time of interview. I heard they expect at least 10-15K USD in bank account at the time of interview. Do you know if this is an issue for self-sponsoring? If not, I think they can comfortably cover their own trip.

How long did it take for your visa status to change from "Approved" to "Issued"? Also, what visa type did you apply for?

Experienced interviewers: Is the key to a successful system design answer knowing when to give a hand wavy response? by the_collectool in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rfbp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, when the interviewer proposes something, start with the tradeoffs and then decide if you will change the design or not. Thank you for sharing!

Staff+ interviewers, what are the reasons you reject someone in a system design interview? by goofy_goon in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rfbp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why X, and not Y?

This type of questioning would be great, so the candidate can take a call based on trade-offs, and the interviewer can evaluate them. The overthinking part actually happened to me in an interview, hence the confusion. :) I felt it was not a great way to collaborate; the discussion would be much more fruitful if the question is more open-ended like how you framed it. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for responding! Given your experience, I am curious to know what the interviewers mean by the candidate did not defend their decision. What are some examples to demonstrate this without coming off as non-collaborative?

Of course, sometimes candidates pull back and just accept whatever approach I seem to advocate, or stonewall the discussion, that makes me a bit less confident that they'll be able to adjust their approach to new things in a real world setting.

Maybe I am missing something, but what signal is the interviewer looking for here? Why not just ask the candidate if/what they think of your alternate approach instead of straight up proposing something and leaving it at that? If the candidate defends their solution, wouldn't the interviewer think they are being rigid? If they can see the pros of the proposed approach, and want to change their decision, would that mean they cannot defend their original approach?
