Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Balancing Debt and Delivery. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You're advising an engineering leader whose team is under pressure to ship roadmap commitments, while unresolved technical debt is making development slower and riskier over time. Leadership wants a clear way to decide when to pay down debt versus when to keep pushing near term delivery.
How do you think about balancing long-term technical debt against near-term delivery pressure?
