better ways for evaluating job seekers w/ josh cypher
guest: josh cypher, senior devops engineer at sonos
- ask hiring managers for a technical screen instead of a blind code challenge if that format doesn't play to your strengths
- remember you are interviewing the company just as much as they are interviewing you
- ask tough questions like what is the top reason you shouldn't work here to expose potential red flags
- when asking about compensation, get a salary range and ask what drives the top and bottom of that band
- lean into your non-software background and personal experiences since they can set you apart in interviews
