Got my initial technical call lined up soon (beyond the HR call I had). Was told NO coding. Wondering what to expect and what kind of comp. others have seen (no idea what M level this is).

Got 30 years exp. doing hands-on management and work as SRE & DevOps. Feeling a bit overwhelmed b/c I hear they ask Linux internals and I don’t dive into that on a daily basis, so I’m likely rusty.

    I just had my Production Engineer on-site last Thursday. They do ask you Linux internals, along with userspace level stuff and performance monitoring commands. At your experience expect networking and system design rounds as well.

      Mine was for new grad, so yeah I did have coding rounds for both phone screens and onsite. Though your seniority level is way different, I have seen only one coding round on onsite , for experienced hires vs new grads.

      Also with your YOE expect to be drilled on systems issues you solved at your past companies. Sadly for manager level hires theres not a lot of interview experiences on Glassdoor for production engineering.

      Thanks. That seems to be more geared toward a dev engineer than a systems engineer, no?
