1. 30 minute phone interview with recruiter to discuss my background, 2. 30 minute video interview with hiring manager to go over my resume and what makes me a good candidate. Went over company hybrid policies, on-call schedule. 3. 90 minute technical interview with hiring manager and another manager to complete 4 tasks. Unfortunately I barely completed the first task with finding a text file on a server with linux command. Very friendly environment and helpful. Gave me a lot of insight into network troubleshooting that I never thought of like difference between ping(UDP) and traceroute(TCP). telnet only tests ports that are allowed by the firewall. Just bummer I'm not skilled enough to move on and join the team.

I don't know whats wrong with companies nowadays, I applied to this position seeing the JD (which kinda hinted) that this would be more DevOpsy role. Now the recruiter mentioned there would be a Linux, Scripting, troubleshooting and lastly discussion round (knowledge on programming in any language is a requirement) That's all fine, then I had my first round there were technical questions, (normal conceptual questions). Later when I was told about the role, the interviewer stated that you'd be handling tickets, I said yeah, obviously I'll be troubleshooting the ones that I can (typical L2 support responsibility) and the ones That are code level issues I'll escalate to L3. The interviewer stops me and tells me, No, we have separate team for that... You'd just be assigning devs tickets and Follow-Up, if they are done or not. I then asked the interviewer, why is he asking me technical questions on Linux, SQL, python etc then...its not like a technical role He looked at me blankly, and my interview concluded. Amazing company, amazing profile, amazing experience 10/10, Offer they were giving out - 9 LPA
