i'm a manager but literally know nothing about management. i just know how to communicate better than the coder autists around me, which is why my company made me a manager.

my IRL management philosophy is: i don't give a shit what you do as long as you don't fuck up anything big

wtf is the STAR method? what am i supposed to say? what do they want to hear?

talk about "managing priorities" and "aligning work with department goals" and "managing to strengths" etc

I've always done my best in interviews when I don't try to "prepare" too much. They will ask you questions, and the immediacy of the moment will trigger an intellectual survival instinct that compels you to answer in a more natural and unrehearsed way. If you suck, then you weren't going to get the job anyway.

also, a huge part of this is gauging the autistic and unlikable personality that is interviewing you and trying to parry and strike at it, which you can't prepare for anyhow afaik.

informal conversation about projects i've led and how i've managed people

but the next round is a CODING CHALLENGE. i want to be in management to get away from coding because i hate coding. will probably tell them to fuck off or ghost them. i'm not practicing leetcode for some no-name company

codecuck interviews were childsplay a decade ago, and it was common to see engineering managers who could barely code. industry has turned to shit since all those layoffs
