#245 - What Developers Get Wrong About Interviews

I spent a few years as an engineering manager, and my buddy Zubin, a former Google engineer, is currently hiring developers at his company. Between the two of us, we’ve seen the good, the bad, and the totally avoidable when it comes to technical interviews.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what really happens during interviews. What are hiring managers actually looking for? What are the most common mistakes that cost people the job? And how can you stand out even if you’re early in your journey?

Interviews are high stakes, high pressure, and if done right, high reward. We cover:

  • Why trust matters more than being perfect
  • How AI has changed the interview process
  • What to do when you don’t know the answer
  • How likability can make or break your chances
  • The worst way to prep, and what to do instead

As always - hope it's helpful!
