Inside the Tech Interview: Alumni Insights & Strategies

What should you expect from interviews in tech—and how can you prepare? Hear from Harvard alumni working across software engineering, data science, and machine learning as they share practical advice, preparation strategies, and lessons from their own recruiting experiences. The session will include alumni perspectives followed by breakout Q&A and will focus on interview strategy rather than live coding.

Featured Speakers:

Theo Guenais, S.M. ’20, ML Research Engineer at Symbolica AI
Jan Iyer, PhD ’21, Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic
Joshua Pan, AB ’22, Sr. Software Engineer at Affirm
