Hiring Advice
Google is standardizing interview questions (finally?) so I am forced to retire my bootleg interview questions. In honor of the great service they've done over 200+ PM interviews, I'm going to do a thread that I expect no one to read but I have no other way to memorialize them.

- How would you describe the candidate to someone who doesn’t know them?
- What is the context in which you know the candidate?
- How many people have you worked with in a similar context? How would you compare the candidate to those other people?
- If this person’s name comes up in your inbox, DMs, or they’re calling you, what do you feel? What do you expect

- What to look for: This is usually very easy to assess, but look for someone unpretentious and a pleasure to be around.
- What to ask: You know it when you see it.

The biggest difference in how I’m hiring the second time around:
Indexing heavily on people who really, really want to work at a high growth startup
If a candidate is deciding between us and a comfortable job at a big tech company, it’s already not a fit
