I cold applied for an L7 position at "A" recently. Going in, I had fear that I was under qualified. My background is CompSci, Management consulting and leading teams at global 5 companies, startup founder, and other lead positions. I left the L7 interview wholly underwhelmed as I felt I was interviewed by engineers with experience an inch wide, one mile deep. Whereas I like to be a mile wide, 0.8 miles deep. My thoughts "maybe L8" is better didn't set well though...
edit: I'm in Denver, and here senior leader positions are not too common.
- sizzle 7y agoVery interesting metaphor of the engineering talent you sized up during your interview. Thanks for sharing that. You have an interesting background, would love to learn more about your career trajectory. Do you have a blog where you write more that you don't mind sharing? Feel free to email a link if you're up to it. (email in bio) Thanks!
