Date: June 5th, 2025 6:45 PM Author: cucumbers 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? |

Date: June 5th, 2025 8:47 PM Author: Oh, you travel? ( ) 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. |
