I was interviewed as a tech lead and passed 4 interview meetings. - Talk with VP - Technical interview with a top senior dev - Technical interview with software architect - Interview with their team and some managers - Finalize the offer Then I got an offer as a Senior Java Developer; after asking, they told me, this is our process, you will be a Java developer now, but will be a tech lead when Pigs Fly. If you are a professional tech guy, Does not worse to spend your valuable time with them.
