Comment on Ask HN: How to become a ridiculously good back end staff eng?parent

When interviewing, tell the team's manager that you're really interested in working somewhere that you can have a big impact. Ask about the most important projects they have upcoming and about the biggest problems the team is facing, and politely dig into it. Once you are aware what the biggest problems are, you can usually theorize without too much trouble what skill sets are needed.
