I am interviewing for senior software engineering jobs. There are some questions or topics that I don't feel comfortable answering and I want to get to the bottom of those. I am looking for that "aha" moment, like the light bulb to suddenly turn on, the idea to click so that I have a way forward answering the question.
I am not looking for detailed end to end responses, I am more in search of that trigger, that clue which will lead me to the satisfactory answer.
You will be the clue provider to me. I'll choose a topic, then you'll suggest some good quality technical questions and I'll pick one. Then, you'll give me the gist of it, that clue which will light that bulb for me. When I am interviewing, I sometimes get stuck at a point where I need something more than a nudge, that's what I am looking for from you.
To start, you list some top-level topics and let me choose one, then you'll list subtopics for that category and we pick one and begin.
