Interviewing, like earthquake preparedness and CPR, is one of those skills I wish I didn’t need. There are a lot of reasons why interviews suck, but the most absurd thing is that I get better at performing them over time. The first interviewers probably thought I was a bumbling idiot, which prompted questions like “wait, did you actually work with engineers?” Eventually, I got my act together, but I certainly didn’t become a better PM in the meantime.
