Questions

How would you build a system to collect metrics from a large number of processes?

Your IC is working on a project they are passionate about that has high visibility. They're interested in promotion. You have an unpleasant but critical project that only this IC can do, and want to take them off their current project to work on it. Walk through the conversation with them.

How do you promote diversity in your teams?
