    Yeah. I’m brutal in the interview. I’ll let them know they are a finalist, but that I can ultimately only choose one employer for the daytime role.

    But I want to weed out the egotists and ‘family’ shops so everyone understands. I’ll connect stand-by, OT and hybrid work rules to a higher wage given more demand and bad architecture, and ask them to justify de-prioritizing reliability and proper architecture with band-aids. And we’ll talk about the cost of living around the mandated office location and how 4x a 2/2 rent compares to their entry wage.

    Sometimes, though, I’ll wordsmith it a bit to get the answers and then only review their answers later in the competition before confirming that their position as a candidate for my next employer has ended.
