Engineering Manager Interview Experience - United States

Process
The job postings are mostly for H1B or Green Card sponsorship. Do not waste your time with them. They keep rejecting applications, even if you have an 80% match with the job posting.
I applied to over three roles over a six-month period and have relevant experience and Master's degrees from a top US university.
