Ben Tobin took a big risk in his career - stepping down from a Director position to an individual contributor in the pursuit of a greater opportunity. In this episode, we dive into Ben's journey in tech as an engineer and hiring manager. We discuss what technical interviews were like in the past, and how the interviewing and hiring process has evolved since then. We also discuss his time working as a hiring manager for Amazon for the past 10 years and why he decided to now become a career coach for developers and managers in tech.
