Bloomberg LP Career Development Videos, Forum, and Q&A

I passed the mid-level SWE interview at another big tech company and now in the talking to a few prospective teams and salary negotiation.

What kinds of questions can I ask to make sure I'm joining the right team. For me that would be growing into a senior engineer in the team. I also want to join an org that would be most likely to avoid a layoff.

This includes scouting for red flags too like micro-manager behavior etc.

I'm curious what everyone else's experience with internal transfer was like? At Bloomberg, I failed to internally transfer onto 3 other teams in the company (1 of which I had a working relationship with). They essentially put me through a full interview process like hiring for another company (coding, system design, talk through a big project you worked on). I believe I failed these because I didn't know understand how to sell myself as a senior (these were senior internal transfers) and had never done a system design interview before which actually eventually led me to Taro.

I passed my E4 phone screen round at meta and my recruiter offered me to go through a separate PE interview loop because of my background as a site-reliability engineer (5 YoE). Has anyone ever done a PE interview, ie troubleshooting phone screen and then a more in-depth Linux specific systems interview? Any tips or advice would be super appreciated!
