Summary

interviewed for a Staff Software Engineer role at LinkedIn| Rejected

Full Experience

I interviewed for a Staff Software Engineer role at LinkedIn, and the interview focused heavily on past projects. I felt my project stories weren’t coherent enough and didn’t clearly demonstrate what they expected at the Staff level. I got rejected.

Based on my experience, project discussions carry significant weight at LinkedIn. If you’re interviewing for a Staff role, prepare your project stories and leadership principles (LPs) thoroughly.
