Welcome to your mock interview session. Today we're focusing on behavioral and system design questions for senior frontend roles. Take your time with each answer.
10:00 AMSounds good. I'm preparing for interviews at a few mid-stage startups. Let's focus on leadership and technical decision-making.
10:01 AMGreat focus areas. Let's start with a behavioral question.
10:02 AMTell me about a time you had to make a technical decision that your team disagreed with. How did you handle it?
I'd talk about the time I pushed for TypeScript adoption. The team was resistant because of the learning curve, but I created a gradual migration plan starting with new files only. After a month, bug reports dropped noticeably and the team bought in.
10:06 AMGood structure. You hit the situation, action, and result. Try to include a specific metric next time, like percentage reduction in bugs. Quantified outcomes make a much stronger impression.
10:07 AMLet's move to a system design question.
10:08 AMHow would you design a real-time collaborative text editor for a team of 50 users?
