question: what are actual good responses to the question, "what are some of your weaknesses" because I feel like that question is a trap. you're not supposed to answer truthfully unless it's 1) utterly inconsequential, or 2) easily spun into a strength like "I care too much"

kalel posted:question: what are actual good responses to the question, "what are some of your weaknesses" I've had success talking about my weaknesses if I've not only identified them but am actively working to improving them. Ultimately I think the question is used to suss out if you're capable of honest self-evaluation and if you think it important to work on your areas of improvement.

kalel posted:question: what are actual good responses to the question, "what are some of your weaknesses" good interviewers won’t ask you that question just like you will never hear the “where are you in five years” edit: the reason you won’t hear it is because they’ll be busy asking you better questions either about yourself or your previous work

Plenty of interviewers aren't good so it's not a bad idea to have prepped for some stupid questions.

I answered the "Where do you see yourself in five years?" question sarcastically once with "Maybe I'll be two years into owning a house." and really confused the interviewer. Four years later and I'm still in the same position that interview got me into, because there's no mobility in this entire organization and thus the question was even more bullshit than usual.

yeah I'd never ask either of those questions. "what are some challenges you faced in <project> and how did you overcome them" is the kind of stuff you really need prep for

kalel posted:question: what are actual good responses to the question, "what are some of your weaknesses" My usual answer is something along the lines of "I have a natural inclination to be stubborn in some situations. However, as I've matured and grown over the years I've gained the ability to notice this tendency in myself, so anytime I run into a situation where I think I already have an answer, I stop, try to listen closely to those around me and take into account all other opinions and form a conclusion as objectively as possible and reach a consensus with my teammates." I go into a bit more detail and maybe come up with an example, but it's a genuine answer. No one is perfect, and I think the best answer focuses on self-awareness of our own inherent flaws/weaknesses (we all have them!), and how we try to work around them. Agreed though that it's an annoying question and I kinda hate it when an interviewer brings it up (which isn't too often), but doesn't hurt to have an answer prepared. Don't give answers like "I'm a perfectionist" or some other BS, just be honest about who you are!

champagne posting posted:good interviewers won’t ask you that question The 5 year question gets phrased a lot of ways. I prefer "if everything goes well, skies are blue, whats your day to day work like in 5 years?" This VERY frequently uncovers additional questions I should ask and lets me take an interest in them and their career. Several times it has led to ?s showing a candidate has some pretty negative personality issues such as WILDLY different expectations from any reality I could picture for them. Also gotten a few that are straight up liars, who double down on their bad lies. Any candidate should have some answer for this, its a standard interview question.

From some recruiter spam:quote:Depending on how well you interview and years in the industry the base salary can range in the low to mid 200,000s + [not public traded] Equity. Oh boy, if I interview real well I could bump my pay from below market to somewhat below market!

200 cash is not really below market anywhere but 200 tc is below market in figgielands prime and secondus, depending on title valuing startup equity is not "value at 0 and have at it" but its also not "believe the vcs and execs about it". you yourself are playing the vc, junior in claims to the actual negotiated tranches which often have optionality baked in bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Aug 1, 2022 |

EDIT: Unless you meant why do they pick 5 years as a timeframe? - 5 years is a goldilocks timeframe of careers can look very different than they do today, but if you wanna be there in 5 years and its an ambitious goal you probably need to start now. - It lets you understand their expectations for career progression rate. Do they give you a low ambition answer? A wildly too ambitious answer? - Is this job part of those plans? If its not is that okay for this role? - Its enough time to complete most next steps of schooling. e.g. completing law school or an MBA. - If they have longer term goals, e.g. EVP at Fortune 50 company, they might bring those up here and you can discuss what should be going on 5 years from now to indicate they're on that path.

The current behavioral interview meta is getting candidates to talk about specifics as much as possible to prove that they are what they represent themselves as. Five years is a medium timeframe so you can talk about why you want to go in a particular direction, preferably by citing your own past experiences. It's also an opportunity to demonstrate why this job specifically is something that will take you where you want to go, indicating that you will be engaged at work. This question, like a lot of interview questions, is hard if you're unemployed and need a job badly, these things are hard to answer well unless you feel like you're choosing between multiple good opportunities.
