Your question is Influencing Senior Technical Direction. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Give an example of a time you had to influence a senior stakeholder to change their technical direction. Explain the context, the stakeholder's position, your approach, and the eventual outcome. We are looking for evidence of respectful disagreement, clear reasoning, effective communication, and ownership of the result, whether or not your recommendation was adopted.
