I had an interview w a hiring manager a couple of days ago for a non-SWE role (marketing/operations).

I felt like the interviewer was tough and kept drilling me with technical questions. Out of the roughly 9 questions he asked, 2 of them caught me bit off guard. But they were big questions, and i felt as if he wasn’t that impressed w my answers and even questioned them a bit.

Although, i felt like my answers to all questions were either satisfactory or a bit above satisfactory and if anything i could tell that when explaining to him why i was qualified for the role and how much i am really passionate about the company - that seemed to have really landed well.

At the end i asked what the next steps would be and he told me they already have people going into the next round this week, and others last week so they have a lot of options but he’ll be connecting w the recruiter. Idk if this is a red flag or if he’s trying to scare me.

Overall, i give myself a 7/10 for the interview but it feels like it’s 50/50 rn.

Any thoughts?

    That’s a red flag IMO

    Anything can happen, wait for a week to follow up.... I had first informational call with HM about the team and process and, he didn't ask anything technical even and one week later without any interview I got rejected by recruiter email saying they reviewed their options and moving with other candidates interviews.. Mine was for sde though.

    My interview at Twitter was a shit show. Had the initial call with the recruiter, she mentioned she would get with the team and hiring manager on next steps.

    🦗 🦗 for two weeks.

    During that time, I took some time off to spend with my wife and kids. I get a phone call, one random Friday at 7pm central time. I answer and it’s a guy at Twitter asking me if I am ready for my tech screen? wtf

    We start talking and I mention I had no idea about this, but sure let’s talk.

    Goes into questions around my experience with finance. I’m like bruh I have no idea what is going on.

    He starts mentioning I would be a good candidate. Then says well Mark (my name isn’t mark), let me find out what is going on.

    Nothing…no emails. No phone calls. No replies after following up 🤷‍♂️ fuck ‘em

    BTW this was only 2 weeks ago.

      OP
      Not necessarily big, but they were technical questions important for the role: difference in measurement between app promotions vs. DR and thoughts on IOS14 update towards ads
