a) 1 b) Too many to count c) 6, I think? d1) System design, performance management, product eng partnership/relationship, management principles d2) 1 e) Not really necessary

I interviewed more as a favor to someone I knew at the company, but I ended up liking the company. When it came time to talk compensation, I threw what I thought was an FU number at them (i.e. I started my then current job with a max band offer and stock had since doubled) but they ended up agreeing, so I said yes.

Congrats on the offer!

> e) Not really necessary

What do you mean? As in you didn't have a need for managing the time because you weren't really interviewing for a lot of companies or you didn't find the number of interviews too much of a burden on your time?

>As in you didn't have a need for managing the time... Correct, I only interviewed with one company and the interviews were broken up over a couple days, so it was easy to find an hour here and and hour there.
