Any suggestions for follow up emails after an interview? I just had a hiring manager screen today for an engineering manager role and I'd like to send a follow up email highlighting parts of the conversation and how my experience can help address pain points brought up in the interview. Any suggestions?

I'm writing this so that others don't make the mistake I made and to hold myself accountable. Since I'm a software engineer, I often get asked about certain process that were implemented where I've worked in the past. I've often found myself floundering because in the moment nerves would kick in and I would forget crucial information such as the following: - Process, from product grooming and development processes - Tools that were used, this refers to any tech related tools or tooling. - Not being aware of industry jargon (I'm bad at jargon and I think this cost me in an interview I had) Steps I'm doing to fix it - Literally write out word for word everything in the tech stack I worked on. - Write out exactly how project roadmapping and grooming works - Write down the name of each tool and what it was used for (for example SNYK for npm package security, Optimizely for A/B testing, Opsgenie for monitoring, etc) - Write down how system design and architecture was done This is a work in progress. I'm also writing out common questions and answers (IE tell me about a project failure you had)

So what does everyone think of LinkedIn? I have a free one year premium subscription I received from the VA. Basically, I think it is garbage. AI is running rampant all over the site like a pack of rabid dogs. It’s full of “influencer” and “creator” accounts that I couldn’t care less about. I need a job. I don’t need advice from some CEO who makes $$ 300 times in a day what his/her/their employees receive in salary for a year. I don’t need shills selling me “job hunting coaching” services. It’s really a dark void of nothingness that I scream into but nobody hears me. StinkedIn. Yep.

Is the Q&A session still happening? It looks like it got pushed out a week.
