Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[Serious]

Got an onsite interview tomorrow, been anxious as hell these last few days. With the job market so tight, final interviews are feeling like life or death situations.

How’d it go

How’d it go?

I’m at a FAANG company, been for a minute but I applied to a company that I would say, better aligns with my interest and had 5 onsite inteviews b2b.

First time in over 5 years. shyt actually went well, just waiting to hear back now.

How’d it go

Went really good, I'm feeling optimistic. Interview was almost all behavioral with not many technical questions. I feel like I do well with the STAR format behaviorial questions because all of these places use the same ones. The manager and the two principal engineers were super chill, felt like we were just having a conversation. And I just do way better on-site than over Teams/Zoom for some reason.

We'll see, I'm praying. It's an old school industry (power), so probably the furthest thing from Big Tech. I get the feeling they're similar to Aerospace/Defense where they're not as picky about hires. No grueling interview loops like FAANG or FAANG-adjacent
