- **Mitigation**:
- Emphasize code review skills (evident in your codebase quality)
- Highlight architecture and quality enforcement
- Show ability to set standards
- **Interview Response**: "While I haven't managed outsourced teams directly, I have strong code review instincts and architecture skills. I understand the importance of clear standards, thorough reviews, and quality enforcement. I'm ready to take on that responsibility."
