Google has a few SRE books out there. This one was the first they wrote and is meant to explain how they view SRE work. It's worth a look and definitely dispels the notion that an SRE is not an SWE.

There's a good chance that the recruiter and hiring manager were not on the same page until after your interview. Hanlon's razor and all that.

That looks like a typo for 1-2+, which has its own issues, but it at least doesn't require time travel.

Tech Sector Job Interviews Assess Anxiety, Not Software Skillsquote:A new study from North Carolina State University and Microsoft finds that the technical interviews currently used in hiring for many software engineering positions test whether a job candidate has performance anxiety rather than whether the candidate is competent at coding. The interviews may also be used to exclude groups or favor specific job candidates.

I don't think one page is a hard limit, but you should definitely put anything you really want people to see there. Certainly by the end of the second page every reader will have already made up their mind, so there's no value in going past that.

ThePeavstenator posted:How important are CVs when applying to big tech companies? Your resume/CV doesn't matter that much once you get to the interview stage, but it's the most important thing to get you there. Before any conversations happen, the document is all the company knows about you, and it's what they're using to decide whether to talk to you in the first place.

I'd write a cover letter if I were guaranteed a response, but taking the time to write one and hearing nothing stings worse than just hearing nothing in the first place. As a result, I don't write cover letters any more.

Check glassdoor to see if there are salaries posted for the position you're interviewing for. If not, do some research on the market range in their geographic area. Either way ask for something near the top of the range.

PIZZA.BAT posted:the tech poc take home assignment that i did two weeks ago? they knocked me an entire title because i didnt prepare a powerpoint presentation for the demo. i was hoping that maybe today’s interview would provide a different angle and maybe allow me to clarify things. lol nope Did they at any point indicate that you should make slides? Or is that just something that they assumed you would know to do? PIZZA.BAT posted:you nailed it. saw some nasty comments on their glassdoor regarding no respect for work life balance. guess i know the story behind those now I'd be seriously tempted to say what I actually thought. It's easy to say that when I don't have to actually make the call, but I'd be thinking seriously about it.

It basically comes down to whether your short term pain is enough to justify having to go through the hiring process again in a year or so when the overqualified candidate leaves. It might be, but that's a call for your team to make.

Most companies would've stopped talking to you after turning you down for the first position, so it's unusual, but not bad.
