Behavioral interview questions for Go engineers are the same questions every engineer faces, but the best answers are anchored to real Go projects, Go-specific trade-offs, and production incidents in Go services. This module covers the STAR format with the reflection beat (the meta-learning that separates rehearsed answers from self-aware ones), conflict resolution anchored to Go decisions (disagreement over using goroutines vs an external queue, interface design disputes, dependency selection debates like GORM vs sqlx), failure stories anchored to Go (the goroutine leak that took down a service, the data race that caused intermittent incorrect results, the context propagation bug that caused all requests to time out together), migration stories (moving from a monolith to Go microservices, introducing Go into a Python/Java team), and leadership moments (introducing the race detector and making it part of CI, mentoring a junior through their first concurrency bug, writing an ADR for a Go dependency choice). Every answer uses the reflection beat.
