- a good working knowledge of the command line (up to say piping, xargs) - basic networking - show me a hobby or project you have worked on, I'll ask you questions - I'll likely try to teach you a command or small factoid to see how receptive you are to learning - I'll likely query you on this factoid at the end of the interview to test your memory and comprehension - if you haven't said "I don't know" in the interview I'll ask you a very hard question to see how you react to not knowing something (hint: getting angry or defensive is not good) - I will try and get you to teach me something, so I can make sure you know that senior members are life learners too. This is to identify if you're one of those people who lose respect for someone not knowing something you know, as I think this is a strong negative sign Bonus points if you have competed an end-to-end project, it doesn't have to be deployed online, but being about to talk full stack is great!
