Insights From an L7 Meta Manager: Interviews, Onboarding, and Building Trust 

Two interviewing🐐's. Wouldn't have gotten a Meta offer without either of y'all!

Hello Interview was easily the best $200 I've ever spent.

It's been one of the most meaningful talks I have watched this year sofar! thank you

Awesome vid. Stefan is legit. Love the system design stuff but this content is super valuable too! More please Jordan!

you guys look like you’d introduce yourselves as “fire and ice” and compete for zendayas heart

Thanks for the interview! Excellent material as usual!

Great one with great info. I feel the lines at higher levels get so subjective, that a particular mindset can do wonders in some team while being disastrous in others. Totally depends on the team culture. For eg : A senior person doing these social stunts will never be accepted in some teams where you can’t wow everyone with your tech skills so much so that people wish they learn a lot and step up to your level. While doing the social skills thing can give you an image as someone who knows nothing but just keeps doing show off.

Thanks SO much, Jordan!

Good interview! Would be nice if you face the camera when asking questions

This was perfect timing!

Huge fan of hellointerview! I clicked on this video because I thought I recognized Stefan's face! Hi Stefan!!

2 legends ❤ 🎉

For more senior level interviews it should just be talking through your resume and getting more details on your experience. You as a company are trying to hire this person because they have conveyed in their resume they have the skillset to take on the challenge you are facing in your company. Asking the potential candidate to come up with some novel approach to a problem they weren't even prepared to be asked on the fly is an awful interview approach.

stefan the goat. jordy get ur commits up

Time and again I hear "put yourself in the shoes of your manager". This is poor advice with even worse consequences. You can't do that in a psychologically safe manner. If you do put yourself in your manager's shoes, you eventually create a persona and expectation of how to approach the activity/responsibility from "your experience" and not your manager's. This is critical because if the manager approach deviates from your expectations that were created by your act of thinking on behalf of your manager, those expectations are going down the drain majority of the time. And you eventually lead to disconnecting with your manager, for no fault of theirs. So, lesson learned: don't put yourself in your manager's shoes. Ask them instead. Frame better questions to get good answers.

Brutal Mog

How to become an IC, when does one become an IC. Seriously speaking, is it like, You don't happen to become an IC, IC has to find you? Does it depend on like if you take lead from design to implementation, to collaborating with devops and QAs vs you are always working in team

Recently screwed up behavioural interviews with Amazon . To be fair I don't consider myself a leader , I just wonder if all SDEs at Amazon are at that level of leadership they're assessing new hires ..

Okay jordan has no life, subscribed! Lol

This is above my iq, but solid video 😂

Is Meta cutthroat

I disagree with modt of this and I've been in engineering for 30 years. These types of interviews that emphasize soft skills put the wrong type of people in leadership.

Waste of time

This guy look and speak super weird
