I've got loop interviews tomorrow for a position I'm probably a bit too excited about. It's the first time ever experiencing that interview format and I'm trying to be chill but also feeling some bone-deep anxiety.

when i interviewed with amazon it was just regular tech interview stuff, except using STAR and occasionally mentioning the corporate values made everything easier because the right answers were more obvious.

lol I just looked it up and I'm mad that people are pretending that "loop interview" is a meaningful term. Apparently it just means "talk to several different people in succession." There's no actual looping, meaningful repetition, or iteration. You could also call Google, the place I worked before that, the place I worked before that, and every tech interview I've ever done a loop interview.

So yes I guess I did a loop interview at Amazon, and everyone in this thread has probably done many of them. loop. buzzword. etc.

dude, you gotta end it on the rhyme

loop as "in the loop" not as topology

i interviewed at a place that called it a “blitz” interview and i had no idea what that meant, i assumed that was their term for “you talk to a bunch of people today”

i showed up and the receptionist leads me to a conference room with three or four other candidates who all looked similarly dumbfounded as i was

turns out that means they bring in everyone shortlisted for the position all at once and they do a “loop” speed dating style. you talked to an interviewer for an hour and then everyone rotates

the VP of engineering called me the next day to tell me she had an opening she thought was a better fit, and i politely turned her down because i was still mildly fuming from being herded like cattle the day prior

Some loops only have a single iteration....or none at all. I'm loop interviewing right now apparently.

saw an opening at Shopify for a role that looked great on paper, but then i started reading about the company which aligns with some of the red flags i was seeing in the job description. "uncomfortable growth " "constant change" "chaos"

CEO sent out a memo to internal leaders a while back that every year you should requalify for your job being 40% better than last year

My contract is going to be up in October so I’ve been starting my job search to get ahead of that.
I typically use a skills resume which was helpful when I was fresh out of school, but now I have a good 7 years of experience under my belt, and have worked at a few companies.
Just curious, is there’s an ideal format for a resume for software development these days? I’ve been hearing stories of HR people just using AI to scan through resumes now and no human even looks at the things anymore.

Welp, despite feeling like I was a complete moron who completely bombed the domain knowledge interview, apparently I was still good enough in the 6 hour gauntlet of loop interviews to get an offer. I haven't seen the offer yet, as it's still being approved, but I know it exists because my manager called me in to a random meeting about it (he was sent an email saying that an offer for one of his employees was up for approval). The recruiter then confirmed that it was being processed.

So hopefully the offer is good. Either way, I'll be a full-fledged SDE (not a solution engineer making demos and POCs, not a consultant doing SDE work for clients when they need it) at a tech major. Somehow I'll have managed to pull off my 5-year career goal (and in only 6 years!)

you always feel like a moron if they gave a serious interview. be more alarmed when it feels breezy and easy, because that means they aren't taking you seriously

highly nervous about the technical interview i have next week for a "network engineer" position that doesn't have any network engineering information in the job details (but has a lot of computer hardware touching in it). the business is a managed service provider, which seems they just do contract IT for SMB so those businesses don't have to hire their own in-house IT folks. i'm probably blindly stepping into a nightmare job

all the offers ive gotten came after an interview where i felt super relaxed and had a nice conversational rapport with the interviewers and didn't care if I got the job or not lol

the actual interview I had for my new job was super relaxed, though I was stress-vomiting concerned at home beforehand. which is pretty silly in retrospect because I had barely gotten home and parked after the interview before the manager called me to offer me the job

sometimes you just nail these things I guess

Achmed Jones
Oct 16, 2004



the main thing to know is that _sometimes_ easy means they hate you and are softballing, _sometimes_ hard means they like you and are trying to find your limit. but sometimes you know the things they're asking because you're a good candidate, and sometimes you don't know things you should because you're not. and sometimes the interviewer themselves is screwing up one way or the other.

trying to develop hard and fast "this means that" in such fluid and context-dependent situations is unlikely to be a good use of time.
