I had an initial interview with a recruiter, followed by a manager interview that included basic behavioral and data engineering questions.

Next, I had a medium LeetCode technical phone interview with a member of the team.

The interesting part was that the manager really wanted me to interview in Java, but my preferred language was Python.

During the tech interview, I asked if I could answer the question in Python. The interviewer agreed, and I eventually answered the question.

After the interview, I emailed the recruiter to thank him, but I never heard a word from him again. I can only assume it was a decline.

I'm interviewing with other FAANG companies, and Apple is by far the worst experience. I feel like they set you up for failure.

1. How would you validate data?

2. Medium LeetCode question.
