INTERVIEW PREPARATION

How to Answer Interview Questions at a Senior Level

Your CV alone doesn’t show your seniority (junior, mid-level, senior, etc.)

Interviewers mainly judge your level by how you answer questions.

That means your answers should reflect the level you’re aiming for.

Here’s what you should focus on at each stage:

  • Junior: Focus on clearly explaining what you did. Walk through the steps you followed and the tools you used. Show that you understand approaches and can apply them correctly.

  • Mid-level: Go beyond the steps. Explain why you made certain decisions and discuss the trade-offs you considered.

  • Senior: Show the bigger picture. Talk about the decision process, potential risks, and the long-term impact of the solution.

Check out the full cheat sheet to make sure you land the level of role (and salary!) you deserve.
