Answer Staff-level leadership scenarios using STAR

Behavioral prompts (Staff/L6)

Provide structured answers (e.g., STAR) for scenarios like:

1. Most important technical decision you drove: how you decided, aligned stakeholders, and measured impact.
2. A time you had a disagreement with a strong senior engineer : how you handled conflict and reached a decision.
3. A production incident/outage you were responsible for: diagnosis, mitigation, communication, and prevention.
4. How you influenced a team without a reporting line : mechanisms used (RFCs, reviews, roadmap alignment), and outcomes.

Focus less on “I wrote code” and more on ownership, decision quality, risk management, and cross-team influence.
