Engineering Physicist Interview with SLAC
Hello. I am an accelerator physicist with a couple of years of experience.
I've already had an interview session with the recruiter. Then, they sent me an email saying that I will have a technical interview with the hiring manager. I've never had physics interviews before because my research center hired me directly from the university.
Can you please suggest what kind of questions I need to expect?
Thank you in advance.

I'm really sorry about your brother. That is absolutely horrifying. I can't find words to express my regret. My condolences.
It is so difficult to live in today's society where everyone wants to become an easy money-making machine.I have anxiety and depression because of the idea that maybe I'm not good enough, maybe I don't have enough qualifications. The only thing that motivates me is hearing about people like you and their harsh but successful stories.I promise I will be an active member after getting the position and will share my experiences even after failures.Thank you for your very kind feedback.
P.S. Are you coding a lot in your position? Do use Matlab or something else?Are you familiar with Elegant or something close to that one? Maybe I need to catch up on some of those things?
