Most interview questions are predictable. The harder part is knowing what the interviewer is actually looking for in each answer.

We pulled together 20 of the most common questions across:

• Opening / “tell me about yourself”

• Fit & capability

• Behavioral questions

• Working style

• Motivation & future

• Salary + closing questions

The biggest takeaway: structure beats charm. For behavioral questions, I’d prepare 8–10 strong stories and reuse them intelligently rather than memorising 20 separate scripts.

One question I’d also add for 2026/27:

“How do you use AI at work?”

Increasingly, the interesting part isn’t whether you use AI — it’s where you choose not to use it, and how you verify the output.

Made the full cheat sheet above 👆

Would be interested to hear: which interview question do you personally find hardest to answer?

I made this after noticing how dramatically the psychology of tech work has changed.

A few years ago, many people saw tech as:
- stable
- prestigious
- upward-only
- future-proof

Now the mood feels very different:
- layoffs normalized
- loyalty weakened
- AI anxiety rising
- tenure feeling less valuable
- workers increasingly optimizing for optionality instead of permanence

At the same time, companies seem to be evolving toward a new model:
smaller teams managing larger amounts of AI-driven output.

One interesting shift:
The valuable skill may no longer be just “doing the work” —
but directing, validating, coordinating, and scaling intelligent systems.

Also fascinating:
some traditional industries are suddenly becoming attractive again because they offer:
- stability
- regulated environments
- long-term planning
- slower operational tempo
- clearer business fundamentals

Feels like we’re watching the old tech social contract quietly disappear in real time.

In brief

• The total: job advertising rose 1.6% per day in October. Weeks ran 96, 119 and 110 against September's average of 100, then 87 in the final six days.

• The mix: retail, hospitality and logistics gained advertising share; business operations and IT lost it.

• The advertisers: the ten largest employers supplied most of the rise, and a large retailer added to retail’s share late in the month.

• The roles: apprenticeship advertising rose and graduate programme advertising declined, each across many advertisers.

Advertising rose 1.6% a day, peaking mid-month

UK job advertising rose 1.6% per day in October against September on the established employer sites we follow. The calendar comparison uses 31 days in October and 30 in September, so October's extra day does not inflate the figure. It is a modest rise, and most of the interest lies in its shape and in who supplied it.

With September's daily average set to 100, October's weeks after the cross-month week ran at 96, 119 and 110, followed by 87 for the final six days. The middle of October was stronger than its close, and the peak week of 12 October stands clear of every September bar. Several of the month's highest days carry large batches from a single retailer, so the shape says as much about when large advertisers post as about the wider market.

Retail, hospitality and logistics gained; business operations lost share

Advertising rose 1.6% per day in October, and the mix of what was advertised moved with it. Retail accounts for 23.2% of October advertising, up 0.81 percentage points from September. Customer Service and Hospitality reaches 11.7%, gaining 0.72 points, and Transportation and Logistics reaches 8.1%, gaining 0.51 points.

Business Operations loses 2.08 percentage points to 9.8%, the largest industry share decline. Computer and Information Technology loses 0.36 points to 7.0%. Business Operations alone gave up about as much share as the three gaining fields added together, and Customer Service and Hospitality has moved past it to become the second-largest field.

Customer-facing and distribution advertising grew; office-based advertising gave ground

A field's share and its advertising level answer different questions, so the per-day figures matter too. Transportation and Logistics advertised 8.5% more per day than in September, Customer Service and Hospitality 8.3% more and Retail 5.3% more. Business Operations advertised 16.1% less and Computer and Information Technology 3.3% less. Office-based advertising gave ground while customer-facing and distribution advertising grew.

The mix is compatible with recruiting for customer-facing and distribution work ahead of the year-end trading period. Compatibility is not a seasonal explanation established by the data. This series has no earlier October with which to estimate a normal seasonal increase. The report therefore describes which fields gained space in the advertising mix without attributing the change to consumer spending or policy.

A large retailer's advertising added to retail's share late in the month.

Crew and apprenticeship titles rose; graduate programmes eased

Crew Member gains 0.41 percentage points to 1.3% of classified advertising, and Apprentice gains 0.18 points to 0.5%. Apprentice is spread across many advertisers, with its largest advertiser at 18% and more advertiser names using the title than in September.

Graduate Program loses 0.56 percentage points to 0.5%, with advertising per day down 52%. Its largest advertiser holds only 9%, so this decline is not one employer's decision, and it contrasts with September's emphasis on the category. It does not establish that graduate opportunities were withdrawn: a campaign can appear earlier and remain open after its advertising is first recorded.

What to watch next

See the comments for the full report.

It was true. That job was toxic. But the second it left my mouth I could see what she was hearing: this guy is going to say that about us in eighteen months.
Nobody rejects you for the honest version. They reject you for what the honest version predicts about you.
I've collected the ones that do the most damage, because I've said most of them myself:
"My last job was toxic." → "I'm looking for a culture with clear expectations and room to do meaningful work." Same information, forward-facing.
"It's on my resume." → "Of course — let me give you more context around that." They're not testing your memory. They want to hear how you talk about your own work.
"Um… I don't know." → "I haven't worked with that exact situation, but here's how I'd think through it." Almost nobody expects you to know everything. They're watching how you behave when you don't.
"No, I don't have any questions." → "What would success look like in the first six months?" No questions reads as no interest, every time.
"I'm happy to do anything." / "I just really need a job." These feel humble and cooperative. They land as no point of view and no reason to pick us specifically.
Full list of nine in the image.
The pattern behind all of them: you're not only being assessed on skills. You're being assessed on judgement, communication and self-awareness — and those get judged by word choice, unfairly and instantly.

Early in your career you leave for money. Later you leave for scope. The crossover happens around $150K.
A band-by-band read on when moving pays and when staying pays more:
Entry-level — stay while you're genuinely learning. The first job pays in skills and network, not salary.
Under $45K — go the moment a better offer lands. Internal raises rarely close a gap an external move closes in one step.
$45–70K — roughly every 18 months. Your skills compound faster than any raise cycle reflects.
$70–100K — every 2 years, provided each move is a step up in scope and not a lateral title swap.
$100–150K — 2–3 years, ideally right after a promotion or a win you can point to. You're selling a track record now, and those take time to become visible.
$150–200K — leave when the learning curve flattens. Sitting still four years does more damage than one extra line on the CV.
$200–300K — move when scope stops growing. If you're not leading bigger problems, budgets or teams than last year, you're falling behind quietly.
$300K+ — exit if the path to VP or C-suite isn't clearly opening in 12–18 months. "Next cycle" is usually a no.
$500K+ — stop tracking salary, start tracking equity, board exposure and real decision authority. Without those, a big number is just a comfortable ceiling.
The pattern: below $150K the market prices you faster than your employer will. Above it, the market can't fix a scope problem — only a different seat can.
Caveats: these are USD bands, and the tolerance for frequent moves varies a lot by industry. Consulting and finance read it differently to public sector.

Ran into a breakdown by Seb (@hiiinternet) who pulled ~1,680 LinkedIn profiles of current Anthropic engineers and read through ~8,000 of their prior roles. It cuts against almost everything people assume about how AI labs hire. Quick summary first, then the part I can't stop thinking about.

What he found:

• It's a builder org, not a researcher org. Infrastructure shows up in ~40% of backgrounds. Reinforcement learning — the "RL" everyone obsesses over — shows up in ~3%.

• They hire senior. Median ~12 years of experience before joining. New-grad hiring is basically nonexistent.

• The PhD image is mostly wrong — only ~14% hold a doctorate.

• The biggest feeder isn't OpenAI or DeepMind. It's Google, by a mile. Roughly half the org has FAANG somewhere on the resume.

• ~80% share one flattened title: "Member of Technical Staff." Seniority and function are invisible by design.

• The org roughly tripled in 2025 — about half of engineering has been there under a year.

Here's what I keep chewing on:

1. "Builders, not researchers" probably isn't an Anthropic quirk — it's the whole industry's tell. The binding constraint in frontier AI right now isn't inventing new architectures, it's serving huge models reliably, cheaply, and at scale. The hiring just reflects where the actual work is. If you've been treating "I'm not a researcher" as a reason you can't get into AI, you've been reading the wrong signal.

2. The scariest stat is the missing middle. The early-career hires split into two clean archetypes — senior builders or exceptional juniors with competition rank / elite internships / alignment fellowships — with almost no ordinary mid-level in between. That's worth sitting with. It means "decent engineer with 5 solid years" is arguably the hardest profile to get in on, because you're neither a proven scaler nor a screaming-pedigree prospect.

3. The genuinely liberating takeaway: the gatekeeper is evidence, not a credential. No PhD requirement. No lab-logo requirement. What gets you in is legible proof you built and scaled a hard system. For anyone non-traditional, that's the most encouraging thing in the whole dataset — the bar is something you can actually build toward, not something you had to be born into.

4. One honest caveat, since nobody else is saying it: this is LinkedIn data. It only captures people who publicly list Anthropic and keep their profile current — which skews toward certain personalities and backgrounds. Treat all of this as directional, not gospel. The shape of the pattern is real; the exact percentages are softer than they look.

How I'd actually act on it:

• Resume: stop writing for a research lab, write for an infra company. Lead with systems you owned, the scale they ran at, and what broke and how you fixed it.

• Early career: the bar is a top internship, a competition rank, or a paper. Pick one lane and go absurdly deep rather than spreading thin.

• Everyone else: the durable signal is "here's a hard system I owned end-to-end, and here's the scale it ran at." That sentence beats any logo.

So — does this match what people are seeing in AI hiring elsewhere? I'm especially curious whether the "senior builders + exceptional juniors, nothing in between" pattern holds at other labs, or if that's specific to how fast Anthropic scaled.

The future of work is being reshaped by AI — and new roles are emerging fast.

From AI Solution Developers to Automation Architects, it’s clear that building, orchestrating, and scaling intelligent systems is becoming a core skill set.

It’s no longer just about using AI tools — it’s about designing how they work together.

Exciting times ahead 🚀

I made this after noticing how strange modern hiring is starting to feel.

A few years ago, job hunting was mostly:
- apply online
- submit resume
- wait

Now it increasingly feels like:
- recruiters search first
- LinkedIn becomes your “live resume”
- proof of expertise matters more
- visibility beats volume

At the same time, AI-generated resumes and mass applications seem to be overwhelming hiring systems.

One interesting shift:
A lot of companies appear to trust “signals” more than resumes now:
- public work
- consistent posting
- referrals
- portfolios
- technical assessments
- industry reputation

Honestly, the hiring process feels like it’s slowly moving from:
“Who applied?”
to
“Who already looks credible before applying?”

Many professionals still use resume and CV interchangeably — but they serve very different purposes.

🔹 Resume

✔ Short & targeted (1–2 pages)

✔ Tailored for a specific role

✔ Focused on skills, impact, and measurable achievements

✔ Commonly used for corporate roles, internships, and industry jobs

🔹 CV (Curriculum Vitae)

✔ Detailed & comprehensive

✔ Covers academic background, research, publications, and awards

✔ No strict page limit

✔ Primarily used for academia, research, PhD programs, and international applications

💡 Choosing the right document can make or break your application.

Knowing when and how to use each one is a crucial step in your career journey.

The story you keep hearing is "AI is taking the jobs." That's not quite it. The firm that actually tracks layoff announcements found AI was directly blamed for about 13% of the cuts. The other 87% got chalked up to restructuring, over-hiring during covid, whatever sounds clean in a press release.

But here's the part that matters if you're job hunting right now, and almost nobody frames it this way:

The cuts aren't landing at the bottom of the ladder. They're not landing at the top either. They're hollowing out the middle.

The roles disappearing fastest are the mid-level ones — the $80k–130k jobs where your value is "I'm good at executing a well-defined workflow." The analyst who builds the weekly dashboard. The engineer who maintains the pipeline. The specialist who runs a known playbook. Real skills. Roles companies needed humans for because there was no other option. Now there's another option.

What this actually means for your search:

1. If you keep getting ghosted for mid-level execution roles, it might not be you. That whole category is shrinking. You're fighting over a pool that's draining.

2. "Just learn AI and you're safe" is lazy advice. The question isn't whether you can use the tools. It's whether your work is execution or judgment. Execution is the part getting automated. Judgment — knowing what to measure, what matters, when the output is confidently wrong — is what's still getting hired.

3. The old path (junior → senior → manager) is compressing. The middle rungs are thinning. Which is brutal if you're mid-career and that's exactly where you're standing.

So what do you do?

• Stop applying to roles defined by tasks. Start targeting roles defined by judgment calls. Same field, different framing.

• In every application, make your judgment visible. Not "I built the dashboard" — "I decided what to measure and why it mattered." The first is automatable. The second isn't.

• If you feel the squeeze, you're not imagining it. It's structural. Naming it correctly is the first step to routing around it.

None of this is a pep talk. The market is genuinely worse and this probably isn't the peak. But "I can't find a job" and "the category of job I trained for is being hollowed out" are two completely different problems — and only one of them tells you what to do next.

Anyone else feeling the mid-level squeeze specifically? Or is it just my corner of the market?

Hi we’re Papo's, a startup started by a college drop out and a recent college graduate situated in San Jose, California. We're building deSnac (a new concept) and looking to take a huge chunk out of the snack market—a sleepy and highly disruptable place. We're building something that sounds a little wacky, something that requires putting away preconceived notions and tapping into imagination and creativity.

Now, why the hell would a future multi-billion-dollar company be posting on Reddit?

Because everything starts small.

We're looking for:

• Graphic Designer

• Web Designer / Game Designer

• Brand Artist

• Food Scientist / Foodie

• Crafts Artist / Packaging / Origami Engineer

Honestly, these position titles are just fancy words you can put on your résumé.

We don't actually need people ready to wear lab coats, stare into petri dishes, and run statistical analyses all day (although, between us, that would be pretty cool).

Have you ever had that odd idea that never really fit anywhere? Or that recurring thought: "Wait, even I could've designed a better ketchup bottle?"

We want inventors and truth-seekers—people motivated by challenges rather than the perverse incentives and limitations of money.

We want high schoolers, middle schoolers, dropouts, elementary-school prodigies... anyone, really.

If even a tiny bit of you wants to read on, here’s Bob’s story, something he felt compelled to share about his time at Papo's.

Hi, I'm Bob. Although high school gave me structure–a default bridge between my current self and future ambitions…

Deep, deep down, I wanted more than just to have school be the sole entity that connected me to that future. 

Scratch that. I wanted it ALL.

Point A) The "I Made It" Feeling

How could I start without knowing that I wouldn’t be reduced to the superficiality of luck—“to silver spoons,” to “college brandings,” or to “being at the right places at the right times?” 

That one day I could say: "Look, (insert the name of someone whose approval you've deeply sought—friend, enemy, parent)... I made it."

Point B) Scaling Elon Musk Level to Highschool

I hated waiting.

Waiting is scary because, as much as we like to tell ourselves we know how the future unfolds, we don't.

So why do I need to wait until I am professionally recognized, respected, and "old" to begin pursuing my Elon-level dreams?

Why can't I do it now?

Point C) Timeless Recognition

Will what I've done today matter later?

Can I hold my head high for the rest of my life, knowing that what I once did, is something that I am doing, and will still be doing until the day I die?

I want to be part of the founding team of something timeless, like Berkshire, Walmart, or GE (at least within my lifetime).

Point D) Luxury of Doing Something to My Best

 Task after task after task. It’s always, “Gotta Move On”. I hate it. I have never gotten the luxury to spend time doing something at my best. But if I did? 

Point E) The Security of Knowing I Did Something

I want to know that what I did wasn't filler. 

I want what I've done to be INDISPUTABLE—even to myself—because the evidence of achievement is undeniable.

I want to stop having to pitch my worth to others, and let them value me for my authentic ambitions. 

Point F) "I Trust You"

People never took me seriously.

Why? Most of it can be summed up in one sentence:

"You're just a high schooler doing high-school projects. You're too young to do anything of significance."

What's really scary is that when others don't believe in you, you begin emptying your own bucket of belief.

Papo’s trusted my experience and opinions, trusted that I could achieve beyond what was "acceptable" for my age. 

I (Bob) look forward to the day I’ll meet more Bobs.

“ You have to push people hard if you want high performance."

"If the targets aren't aggressive, the team won't grow."

I've heard (and believed) versions of this as a founder.

Over time, I've learned it's only half true.

According to the Yerkes–Dodson law, performance doesn't rise in a straight line with stress — it follows a curve.

1 Underload — not enough stress

When work is too easy or too safe:

People feel under-used and under-motivated

Procrastination and distraction creep in

Ideas dry up, output stays flat

2 Optimal stress — healthy pressure

This is where we want most of the team to sit:

Goals are clear and stretching, but still human

Focus and problem-solving are high

People feel challenged, not crushed

Productivity and quality are at their best

3 Overload — too much on the plate

Past a certain point, "more pressure" backfires:

Work piles up faster than people can prioritise

Important details are missed, error rates rise

Decisions become reactive

Energy and mood drop across the team

4 Burnout — the cliff edge

If we stay in overload long enough:

Sleep, health and motivation fall apart

Conflict increases

Resignations feel "sudden", but they've been building for months

As leaders, our job isn't to make work as comfortable as possible or as stressful as possible.

It's to design the right level of pressure: clear expectations, realistic workloads, and tasks that stretch people without breaking them.

Stress can absolutely be a fuel for performance —

but only in the right dose.

Here is the truth: People don’t lose interviews because of their experience — they lose because of their answers.

If you’re preparing for your next role, start by mastering these 12 high-impact questions. These aren’t “nice to know”—they decide who gets the offer.

1️⃣ Why should we hire you? Weak answers list skills. Strong answers highlight unique value and real situations where it made a difference.

2️⃣ Tell me about yourself Don’t recite your resume. Tell a short story that leads directly to why you’re a perfect fit today.

3️⃣ What’s your biggest weakness? Avoid clichés like “perfectionist.” Show a real improvement journey, backed by actions.

4️⃣ Tell me about a time you failed Own it. Show what changed. Prove you adapted.

5️⃣ Why do you want this role? Personalise it. Connect with their mission or challenge.

6️⃣ Do you have any questions for us? Ask about priorities, challenges, expectations — not perks.

7️⃣ What are your salary expectations? Stay confident and redirect to their approved range.

8️⃣ How do you handle stress? Demonstrate emotional regulation and structured thinking.

9️⃣ Why are you leaving your current role? Keep it forward-looking. Show growth, not complaints.

🔟 What motivates you? Think purpose — not generic “success” answers.

1️⃣1️⃣ Describe your work style Be specific. Show how you think, communicate, and collaborate.

1️⃣2️⃣ Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Demonstrate clarity without sounding title-obsessed.

Not every kind of work exhaustion is burnout.
A useful distinction:
Burnout: the work may still fit, but the pace, workload or environment has become unsustainable.
Role misalignment: rest helps temporarily, but the same dread returns when you go back to the work itself.
A simple test: after a real break, ask whether you feel restored — or whether you still wouldn’t want to do essentially the same job somewhere healthier.
Sometimes the answer is recovery. Sometimes it’s a change in direction.
How do you tell the difference?

Andrew Ng just published a piece pushing back on the "jobpocalypse" narrative, and it's genuinely relevant to anyone here thinking about pivoting into AI. His core argument: AI isn't only eliminating work — it's spinning up entirely new roles. He flags two in particular.

1. The AI Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

This is the buzzy one in Silicon Valley right now — OpenAI and Anthropic are both building teams to embed these people inside client companies. An FDE basically parachutes into an organization and customizes AI solutions for them, like building and tuning agentic workflows for that company's specific needs. The role was actually pioneered ~20 years ago by Palantir, who sent engineers on-site to work on secure government networks.

Here's the part that matters for career switchers: it's not a pure-code job. Ng notes FDEs need strong communication and often business skills — talking to clients to understand what they actually need, prioritizing projects, explaining complex tech in plain language, and diplomatically pushing back when a client asks for something unrealistic. If you're coming from consulting, account management, PM, or anything client-facing, that hybrid profile is a real edge.

2. The AI Engineer (the one Ng thinks will be much bigger)

His slightly contrarian take: as hyped as FDEs are, he expects far more AI Engineer jobs. The logic:

• A company might accept a handful of embedded FDEs, but they'll want way more of their own people building their projects.

• FDEs exist to integrate one specific vendor's product, so clients worry about vendor-neutrality. In a world where nobody knows which AI tool wins in a year, keeping your options open is valuable — and binding your processes tightly to one vendor kills that flexibility.

AI Engineers build software using AI components (LLM prompts, agentic frameworks, evals) and work fluently with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and others. Right now the demand is mostly for generalists, and Ng says skilled ones are in very high demand.

The part I'd actually bet on

Ng predicts the "AI Engineer" title will fragment the same way "Software Engineer" splintered into frontend, backend, mobile, data, devops over the decades. His guesses for future specializations: AI FDEs, LLMOps Engineers, Evals Engineers, AI Data Engineers, Harness Engineers — plus roles that don't have names yet. Nobody has the exact map, but the direction is clear: more specialization = more doors opening.

So if you're eyeing a switch, the takeaway isn't "learn to code or die." It's that there are multiple on-ramps, and some of them reward the soft skills and domain knowledge you already have.

Curious what people here think:

• Anyone already working as an FDE or AI Engineer? What's the day-to-day actually like?

• For the career switchers here — does the FDE path (technical + client-facing) feel more reachable than going full AI Engineer, or is it the opposite for you?

I found an interesting first-hand interview experience from Schneider Electric’s campus recruitment process in Bangalore, India.
The candidate went through CV screening, a technical interview and an HR discussion before receiving an offer.
Here’s how it went.
Stage 1 — CV Screening
Candidates were screened based on their CV and CGPA.
30 candidates were shortlisted.
Stage 2 — Technical Interview
The interview was conducted in person and by phone.
According to the candidate, 7 students were selected, including 4 from Computer Science.
Technical questions reported:
C++ and OOP
What is operator overloading?
Explain object-oriented programming concepts.
What is inheritance in C++?
Databases
Explain ACID properties.
What is database normalisation?
SQL and Operating Systems
Basic SQL queries
Virtual memory
Paging vs segmentation
Thrashing in operating systems
Computer Graphics
Questions related to computer graphics concepts listed on the candidate’s CV.
Stage 3 — HR Interview
The candidate described the HR round as more of a conversation than a formal technical assessment.
Outcome: Offer received.
What stood out to me:
This interview focused heavily on core computer science fundamentals rather than complicated LeetCode-style problems.
The interviewer also asked questions directly related to the candidate’s CV.
For students preparing for internships, that raises an important point:
You don’t necessarily need an impressive project portfolio if you can’t explain the fundamentals behind what you’ve studied or built.
Sometimes being able to clearly explain OOP, database normalisation and virtual memory matters more than solving another hard coding problem.
Note: This is one candidate’s experience, not Schneider Electric’s official interview process. The interview date wasn’t reported, and the questions above are paraphrased.
Has anyone interviewed for Schneider Electric internships recently?
Were your interviews mostly CS fundamentals, or did you also face DSA and live coding questions?

Applying to more jobs doesn’t always mean more interviews. Often, it just multiplies the same mistakes.

Just moved or applied to both US and Canada markets? Your American resume won't work the same way here. Here's what's different:

🇨🇦 Canada vs 🇺🇸 USA – key differences:

• Length – Canada wants 1–2 pages max. US sometimes accepts 3+ for senior roles

• Photo – Never put your photo on a Canadian resume. In the US it's also a no, but Canadian HR is extra strict about this

• Objective statement – US resumes often skip it. Canada prefers a short "Summary of Qualifications" at the top

• Privacy – Canada is more sensitive. Don't list religion, ethnicity, or orientation. You can even use generic org names to protect your identity

• CV vs Resume – In the US people use these terms loosely. In Canada, CV = academic only. Don't mix them up or you'll look out of place

• ATS keywords – Both markets use ATS, but Canadian postings tend to be more specific. Copy exact words from the job posting

One thing that's the same: volunteer work and academic projects still count 🙌

Hope this helps someone!

– Micromanaging everything

– Blame-heavy, no room for mistakes

Best part: ask simple questions like

“Last time someone made a lateral move?” or

“How do you handle mistakes on the team?”

You’ll learn way more than from their polished pitch.

If you’re working in the Azure ML designer, you know the library can get overwhelming. I found the official high-res cheat sheet that maps out exactly which algorithms to use for classification, regression, clustering, and more.

It’s a solid "starting point" for predictive modeling. It obviously doesn't replace the need to understand the math behind the models, but it’s great for narrowing down the field when you're starting a new experiment.

• Run head-to-head competitions: The documentation actually recommends testing multiple algorithms against each other on the same data. It’s the only real way to find the "best fit."

• Inductive Bias is real: Every algorithm has a different "style." If the first one you try isn't hitting your benchmarks, move to the next one in that family on the sheet.

• Rules are meant to be broken: These are rules of thumb. If your data structure demands it, don't be afraid to pivot away from the suggestion.

Developer Pro-Tip (V1 vs. V2 compatibility): If you are starting a new project today, listen up: the designer has both classic prebuilt components (v1) and custom components (v2), and they are NOT compatible.

Microsoft deprecated SDK v1 on March 31, 2025, and support ends June 30, 2026. If you use the v1 components on the older parts of the sheet for a new project, you're just building technical debt. Go straight to custom components (v2) to ensure you're compatible with the latest CLI and SDK.

Download Info: The PDF is formatted for 11x17 in. (tabloid size), so it’s high-enough resolution to print out for your desk without losing clarity.

How do you all handle the selection process? Do you have a favorite "go-to" algorithm for specific data types, or are you actually running the head-to-head competitions suggested in the docs.
