Two parts to it -
-
Hiring for your own team - don’t think so as it is in your interest to fill that role.

Just talked to another engineer. She told me this:
Suppose that I am a meta engineer. I am to take your interview (you are the candidate).
I'll get in touch with you before the interview(using ...
