What does your interviewing process look like?
Tell me if you’ve heard this one before.
‘Hi, Shannon, it’s been a while since our time together at New Relic, hope you’re well. I just realized you’re the head of solutions engineering at Karat. I’m actually interviewing for a backend SWE position on the interviewing cloud platform team. Any chance you can catch up over a Zoom coffee so I can pick your brain about what to prepare for ahead of my interview loop? Thanks in advance!’
(I’m guessing you have)
We all network. It’s silly not to; I know a ton of great engineers from my past teams and companies, and I would absolutely go out of my way to help the best ones get a foot in the door at my current gig (shameless plug – we’re hiring like crazy right now!).
