I am currently not in salesforce. I used to be there till last year. beginning of year I joined a startup and my entire team was laid off recently. I was an EM with 12 yoe. I have been interviewing with companies last 3 months and till now no luck. the following onsites did not work out MSFT 3 interviews Facebook 1 Amazon 1 Twitter 1 didnt get through after phone interviews in Apple, Asana, Atlassian, Okta, redfin. I have google interview coming up in next week. I want to get some pointers from interviewers perspective. if you have interviewed with Google or an interviewer and could spare few minutes to help, i will be very grateful. i can DM you I never had any feedbacks from any of these companies except Atlassian where I was passed over another candidate for diversity hire. financially, i am doing ok. but funds are drying up quickly with 2 kids at home and 3rd one coming. TC 0 (320k before) yoe 12 Thank you blinders
Feel free to DM, will probably have to reply tomorrow
Thank you! Really appreciate your help
Do paid mock interviews through gainlo or similar sites
I did that after I failed first few interviews. I never got a good feedback on what I am missing.
Did you try interviewkickstart mock interview service? I think you can request google interviewer there? I don’t have first hand experience with them though.
Another option is rooftopslushie
Tried Boomerang to Salesforce ?
I did. But looks like hiring freeze
OP, with that many recent interviews under your belt, your own introspection and critical examination of your interview performance will help identify your areas of improvement better than anyone else's perspective or pointers. Certainly every interview is different, but do you not see any weak areas in your interview game?
Yes. I did my best. I thought I learned and addressed the interview after each failed ones. But with no feedback, it’s hard for me to know if system design was weak or my STAR examples weren’t good enough..
Same here OP. Not as many interviews (good job on getting those!) But still feels like my conversation rate sucks. I have a rough idea of maybe why I'm falling- more on the energy/confidence front. Let's DM?
Op, try pramp.com, you can get peer mock interview matches and practice. Also did you check the system design primer on github? Good luck!
