      If thoughtworks, I'd rather go pivotal.

    • Yeah, without SoftBank cash infusion, Uber would have really struggled next year. Also Kalanick cashed out nice and in general Uber employees stood in lines to sell their stocks/options to SoftBank...

    I’ve hired a few EMs lately - DM me your specific questions. A lot depends if you’re interviewing as a TLM ( where you’ll also be responsible for coding 25-45% of time) , or a seasoned manager and which group you’re interviewing for. Are you interviewing for payments group?

      Not true. Seen candidates who got offers from one of them but completely bombed our architecture interview. We have pretty strict requirements on EMs being able to hold their own technically during the interview process

    In my experience, it’s the same interview as a Senior SWE. Leetcode + Design + STAR style questions around leadership. Feels like tech only “knows” how to hire for SWE, so every interview is a variation on that model for most positions.
