My first thought: you should have a good professional network with all that experience. VCs, former colleagues and employees, customers. By the time I had a decade of experience I had a solid network and never had to interview again.
So I would start there. People who know you will see past the titles and want to hire you for what you offer in terms of business value and solving problems. If you’re considering grinding leetcode and doing cold interviews, where is your network?
Then again, I learned after a couple of management roles that I should keep my options open, so I have called myself “programmer analyst” for 20+ years regardless of actual responsibilities.

- gregjor 2y agoA referral is one thing. I mean knowing the hiring manager, or an executive, or someone who has direct contact with them. Only a small fraction of companies, mostly in SV, do coding interviews at all.
