So I've been interviewing with a couple of companies, and they're going pretty well. I'm worried that if/when the time comes for salary talk, I'll end up underpaid because I've been a bit underpaid in the past and don't really know what to ask for. Are there any reasonable guides out there? I've heard some iffy things about the Robert Half salary report and Glassdoor numbers, but I'm not sure what else there is to go on.

how do i interview peopleBloody posted:i have to interview a person for an open position on my team. ive never interviewed anybody before, but i have been interviewed many times. obviously, nobody has bothered to train me or even provide a brief overview of how we do interviews at my company. how do i interview a person? i get a half hour one-on-one with them, which seems uselessly brief.

Look at Glassdoor and ask for the max (or more) reported for the role. They're skewed to the left for sure, but you should be able to get at least the max reported if you're truly the right person for the job.

Bloody posted:how do i interview people take some time to come up with a list of skills/characteristics you're looking for, everything from hard skills like languages and frameworks to soft skills like customer interaction. after writing the list, come up with questions that can determine how well a candidate knows that skill. also include time to talk about your company, the position, and to let the candidate talk about him/herself (themself?) and their history.

I have asked everything except the pto question in an phone interview before

TerminalRaptor posted:Depends, is your organization stable? If so, and you have clear visibility with regards to how the role is supposed to operate in your department, and you want to do it, you'll probably enjoy it immensely. Does your org have some sort of intermediary role, like a team lead? That's a great way to see if its something you want to do more of. Even if they don't your manager might be able to stick you in some intermediary role to test the waters if you ask. Being strong at 'everything' doesn't necessarily make you a good candidate for management though. Having a good understanding of development and how the processes work can make the different between a good manager and a great manager, but only if you have the ability to manage people; it's why it's called manager. Be prepared to have to deal with a lot of soft skill issues: interpersonal conflicts, helping team members grow their skills, negotiating with fellow managers and stakeholders for timelines and resources. thanks for this good post

Bloody posted:how do i interview people - review the candidate's resume AND the job requisition. mark required skills on the resume and note any significant skill gaps. - prepare and write down your questions. allocate 3-5 minutes for short answer, 10-15 for long answer/design, 20 for coding (i.e. you probably should leave the coding exercise to someone else)
DURING - shake the candidate's hand, introduce yourself, and make small talk about something on their resume - if the candidate blanks at a question, ask whether they understood. if they continue to blank, move on. - don't ask questions touching on the candidate's race, sex, age, national origin, religion, marital status, pregnancy, citizenship status, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity/expression (e.g. "where are you from?", "when did you graduate high school?") AFTER - write up feedback promptly, with a hire/don't hire decision and brief reasons Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Apr 18, 2018 |

The purpose isnt to find heroes, it’s to find out what the candidate considers a challenge and what they do about it. eg given a technical challenge do they brush it off or sit on their thumb until the due date or work constructively
