alt Hacker NewsI’m doing interviews as a senior sre and frankly it’s extremely weird.
I’m being asked very open ended scenario-based questions, I’m answering honestly, and it seems to be going well (i’m moving through the interview funnel).
I’m not getting asked deeply technical questions. No weird obscure trivia. No stack-specific things. No linux internals. No weird networking trap questions. Coding part is essentially gone.
My interviewers so far have mostly been other senior SREs.
It looks like a market where a senior sre can recognise another senior sre. Some kind of closed circle.
So weird, so so weird.

Tell me more... I'm also in the same boat, and part of me feels more prepared to do high-level open-ended exploration as opposed to code-based testing.
What kind of questions get asked?
It's a vibe interview :)
