Let's chat about my recent experience interviewing for a senior IC position.
My background: wearer of many hats with an observability slant. Looks to talk about processes and (devops) culture. Master of none. Been writing elixir for the last two years.

Getting interviews is surprisingly easy, though market sentiment doesn't make it seem like it should be.
Builders are still building.
Next step: hiring manager interviews. The good ones ask what you want to do, and pay attention to your background. Drop those who don't.

Coding interview, hot take:
I don't do leetcode anymore. There are much better signals one can get - from code walkthroughs, open source contributions, or some simple pair programming.
Generally, lots of companies didn't know what to do with my Elixir background.
