What’s your name? Skip McBride Where are you from? Oakland, Ca What do you do? Im a software developer with over 10 years experience... What's your goal inside this community? To get a job as a developer either remotely or within commuting distance

Mistake #1: Treating interviews like they're still junior developers I have 5+ years of experience, but I was still answering "Tell me about yourself" like a bootcamp grad... Senior interviews aren't about proving you can code!!! They're about proving you can lead, architect, and make decisions. Mistake #2: Preparing for the wrong things Grinding LeetCode for 6 months, but the senior role cares more about system design, technical leadership stories, and how you've scaled teams or products. You're over-preparing for junior-level questions. Mistake #3: Not positioning their experience correctly "I've worked at 5 companies" sounds like job-hopping... "I've successfully navigated 5 different tech stacks and scaling challenges" sounds like expertise. Same facts, different framing. After fixing these mistakes I went from 8 rejections in a row to landing 3 senior offers in 6 weeks once I fixed these. The difference? I stopped preparing like a junior and started interviewing like the senior I actually was. 📌Want my complete Senior Developer Interview Framework that helped 100+ experienced devs land roles even at Microsoft, Meta and SpaceX?
