Interview prep isn't about memorising trick answers. It's about being clear on three things: what the company needs, what you've done that maps to it, and what you want to know.
Research the company for 30 focused minutes
Read their About page, latest blog posts, and the last two funding or product announcements. Look up the interviewer on LinkedIn.
Prepare 5 STAR stories
Situation, Task, Action, Result. Pick five different scenarios that show range — leading, shipping, dealing with conflict, learning something new, and recovering from a mistake.
Prepare 3 sharp questions to ask them
"What does success look like in the first 90 days?" always lands. Avoid anything you could Google.
Sort logistics the night before
Charge your device, test your camera, confirm the address. Small friction at the start ruins the first five minutes.
