> Higher leadership positions rarely rely on interviews and those that have them tend to use them as a formality. How high are you talking about? My employer definitely has real interviews for 7-figure total comp positions.

Good question! Not sure. I can find out for you on Tuesday (feel free to email me at rfrankel@roblox.com to remind me). We do hire senior ICs remotely in the US (IC5+, ~=L6+ in Google terms); if we do hire remotely in Canada, it is probab

Denton was my manager at Google for a couple years. He won some award for being one of the best 10 (? some very low number) managers in the company. Thorough and patient are definitely two of his good qualities. :) Tailscale did well to hir

I always did weekly 1:1s with everyone I was TLing, even when we were all in the office together 5 days a week. I never felt it was a waste of time. I'd let them set the agenda, and if they didn't have anything on their minds (r

Being a "tech lead" at Google is nothing like commanding a spaceship. It's more like being partially responsible for a team of 3-5 mid-20s engineers building the dashboard and reporting for space shuttle wind tunnel test resu

At Google, which I'm pretty confident the parent comment was describing, promotion is supposed to be recognition that you've already been consistently performing at that level for a long time. So someone newly promoted is not act

I've never been asked to do a take home interview assignment, but I actually have the opposite attitude. I would much rather spend a few hours putting together that I feel good about than spend 10x the time cramming interview prep.

This isn't based on any insider knowledge, but I will be very surprised if my current employer, Roblox, has layoffs in the next couple years.
