JamesGilbert··on Dev-to-dev interviews for senior level positions at high profile organizations
I probably have a few years until I have to start dying it for anything, but I guess I could see where that would make sense eventually. Thanks the ideas - I think with the suggestions here that it might be enough to get me started on trying to redefine these interviews in the future.

Good point. Maybe I'll should error on the side of trying to ask more questions in the future.

This sounds like a good approach. I've tried to do a little bit of this type of thing, but could probably use a lot more. I also kind of vacillate between wanting to asking questions and not wanting to seem like I'm hijacking the interview. Sometimes it seems like they just have their list of questions that they're plowing through so it feels more awkward to ask my own question in the middle of their laundry list.

1. I'm only 40, not 80! ;) 2. These are actually remote interviews.

That's a good thought. I don't think I felt/acted very hostile or fearful during the interview, but it's probably worth reconsidering..
