Interview prep

Practice the work behind the question.

Choose a lane and role to see its real interview questions, what each tests, and a framework for strong answers. These are practice prompts and general guidance - not memorized scripts, and not every company interviews the same way.

Research Writer

Expect questions about primary-source research, analytical writing, and basic onchain and financial interpretation, plus a scenario where the role must pause publication when primary sources conflict, a metric definition breaks, or new information materially changes the thesis. Interviewers are looking for evidence that the candidate knows where research question framing and source collection stop and real-time news reporting by default and token recommendations begin.

Weak-answer patterns

  • • Repeating jargon without specifics.
  • • Avoiding concrete examples.
  • • Claiming team outcomes as personal work.
  • • Presenting tools or follower counts as competence.
  • • A long article built mostly from secondary summaries
  • • Confident conclusions without limitations
  • • Dashboard screenshots without metric definitions
