Question 1
How will your previous experience provide you for an industry shift like this?
I applied online. I interviewed at Substack (Rometta, Sicily) in Mar 2026
Interview
Recruiter was super nice and professional. But hiring manager didn’t make a strong impression and didn’t seem to have a clear understanding of the role. She avoided basic questions related to growth and international markets, answered my questions curtly, making it feel I was begging, simply because I applied. She was definitely not experienced for the role.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Substack in Apr 2026
Interview
