This was for a role outside of India.

The interviewer had some questions prepared and went through them.

His questions revolved around software design concepts and shared variable access. There were few questions about OOP fundamentals, including inheritance, abstraction, and synchronization.

Other than technical assessment, he also tested leadership principles through various questions regarding my involvement in projects. There was a particular question: "What did you do when someone challenged you?"

I am rating the interview as difficult because it was based on design concepts, mostly, which I was not informed of. Also, there were absolutely zero questions on DSA.

What did you do when someone challenged you?
