Interview advice

Jun 17, 2017 8 Comments

If I have offers from LinkedIn and AWS (no numbers yet) should I still go and interview for Bloomberg, Twitter or Airbnb (all phone screen clear) Genuine question, need advice. This is for Sr Engineer. Kind of burnt out giving interviews and may choose between the two I have ultimately, so is there a point?

    Airbnb is amazeballs. I would strongly encourage you interview here and see if you like it.

    Why are you burnt out? Just do one or two a week

      Just do not intend to interview for the sake of it. Also all of these are in SF - long commute v/s the two I have.

      Also interviewing since May. Did Uber (screwed up one round by foolishly arguing with the interviewer), Apple two teams (didn't find it exciting), LI, AWS plus the above phone screens. Also, work has suffered a bit and have a young family who has been sacrificing with me for last 6-8 weeks. Was a very exciting journey from being a rusty candidate in initial practice interviews to where I am right now but feel I would rather reclaim my time rather than giving interviews where I don't intend to join.

      Based on the feedback above though may go for AirBnB.

    Bloomberg is an outlier from a culture perspective which might put it at the top of your list or the bottom. Three offers is better than two for negotiating but 4 or 5 seems like a lot of work and if you're burned out, it could show and hurt you in the future. Definitely don't go if you're not on your A game.
