  • Search for interview questions online. I think Glassdoor used to have a place for interview questions. If it’s a national/multinational corporation, there is a fair chance the standard interview questions are already out there.

    Even if that specific set of interview questions isn’t posted online, interview questions for that kind of job have been. If it’s a small company, the hiring manager may doing the same web search to find questions to ask you.

    In the worst case, you’ve found a set of questions to start the thought process.

    Lastly, near they end of the interview, when they ask if you have questions, ask the interviewer why they like working there. At good places to work, they will have no problem coming up with reasons. An interviewer who struggles to answer the question is a red flag. Either way, you look prepared and look like you’ve given thought to the interview.
















  • Once you get into bikes you realize that it becomes a sort of Ship of Theseus. So many things have become standardized you can (and will) upgrade over time and it won’t be the same bike you started with.

    Rather than recommend a specific brand, go and talk to your closest bike shop (a real shop, not a chain, department store, or sporting goods store). They will tell you what is easy to source, what has recently given them headaches, and they may even help adjust the bike for your proportions. Most are also happy just to talk about bikes even if you’re not buying that day.

    Side comment: Fixies, or fixed gear bikes, are less complicated and thus have fewer points if failure. Not advocating for or against… just and objective statement.
