It sounds to me like you're more of a technically inclined software executive/business person than a coder. Would you agree or disagree with that statement? Your run-of-the-mill programmer isn't going to be writing any contracts or license agreements and they're certainly not going to be managing any financials.
If the interviews consist entirely of whiteboard problems, then they're probably just planning on sticking you onto an agile team where you'll grab tickets off a queue every morning and churn through them at your own pace. It sounds to me like this is quite a bit different from what you've actually been doing. So I guess the point I'm trying to drive at here is that maybe your mistake is identifying yourself as just a software developer when you're actually an executive?
- xenihn 10y agoIf you're trying to say that he should be seeking a CTO position instead of a developer/engineer position, then I agree.
- nilkn 10y agoYes, or some sort of VP position.
- mgkimsal 10y agoAlmost no one advertises for an executive that has a handle on software development, contract management, financial oversight and more.
