This framework can be applied to any behavioral interview. For example, Meta offers the following interviews for Managers: Behavioral, People Management, and Project Retrospective.

On a similar point, for example, Amazon uses "Leadership Principles", which is also behavioral interview round that focuses on 12 principles.

Here are a few other example frameworks that can be used to deliver these type of questions: https://engineeringbolt.com/tech/master-the-behavioral-inter...

I agree! All managers should have been mid/strong engineers at some point, and have developed stronger soft skills to become a leader. Without the technical knowledge and understanding of the processes one can't have the needed credibility and trust for other engineers.

Ask HN: Should Engineering Managers write code?

For engineering managers who started as engineers, the longing to return to coding is real. The satisfaction of solving bugs and writing code contrasts with the draining nature of meetings and managing team dynamics.1. Yes! Only on non-critical work.2. Yes! Even on critical work.3. No! Focus on manager duties.4. Depends (comment below)Chhose and explain.

How do you answer this Interview Question asked during Behavioral rounds in Amazon/Meta? Big tech companies like Amazon and Meta often ask questions like this to assess candidates' fit with their Leadership Principles. These companies have a rigorous interview process that focuses not only on technical skills but also on behavioural competencies and cultural fit. Understanding and being able to demonstrate these competencies is key to succeeding in their interviews.
The next iteration and big feature of Google's search engine should be filtering AI-generated content, which allows people to see only information written by people. We're living in crazy times.

Motivation is a core principle and driver for many Engineering teams. When it comes to motivating your team, in my past experience, I have seen the Good, Bad and Ugly of both high-performing teams and teams that are struggling to drive and deliver results due to low motivation or cohesion.

What principles and actions do you use to keep your team motivated?
