Reached out by the recruiter, and had a video conference initial interview. Execution interview had a trainee there, and I ended up needing more guidance than I should have. It was the case of a simple question being over-analyzed by me, which took unnecessary time Insight interview went well, I thought, a fun, collaborative brainstorming session Quick turnaround: by next day, they said they decided to move forward with another candidate. All the flash cards, preparation, practice questions, and I flubbed what should have been a pretty simple question. But when you’re in the interview session, you never know if the answer you give is too simple, or if the pregnant pauses mean that you’re off. Because of the interview process, I’ll have to re-apply after an obscene amount of time. But it is what it is.
