I’m doing interviews as a senior sre and frankly it’s extremely weird.

I’m being asked very open ended scenario-based questions, I’m answering honestly, and it seems to be going well (i’m moving through the interview funnel).

I’m not getting asked deeply technical questions. No weird obscure trivia. No stack-specific things. No linux internals. No weird networking trap questions. Coding part is essentially gone.

My interviewers so far have mostly been other senior SREs.

It looks like a market where a senior sre can recognise another senior sre. Some kind of closed circle.

So weird, so so weird.
