I Interviewed 50+ Candidates for 6-Figure Jobs. Key Learnings for YOU!

After 50+ job interviews in the last weeks as Tech COO of Building Radar and at Firm Learning, here are the 5 job interview mistakes costing candidates roles in 2026, even for 6-figure jobs. Most blow the basics, and most underestimate how much modern hiring has changed in the AI era. This video breaks down the specific patterns I saw across interviews for high-paying knowledge worker positions: the AI readiness gap, the case study baseline trap, energy level in the room, the bare minimum, your online interview setup, and arriving on time. Whether you're preparing for a tech, consulting, or any white collar job interview in 2026, these are the lessons hiring managers wish more candidates would learn.
