1. Chat with a recruiter. They go over your experience and describe the interview process.

2. First round was a system design interview. It was 45 minutes long. My interviewer said he wanted to save 15 minutes at the end for questions. I was asked the same questions as others.

I was very disappointed when I didn't get the job. Usually, you know when you've screwed up an interview, but I studied hard for this one. I fumbled in a few places, but the interviewer was like, "I'll cut you off if I have an idea of what you're doing" and would redirect me in other areas. Anyway, I explained my logic. I asked and clarified all the relevant questions before jumping in. Throughout the process, the interviewer kept saying, "Oh, that's a good question." Mind you, I only had 30 minutes, and in that time, I explained everything and answered all the questions. I even gave multiple ways of designing the system. I'm not sure what went wrong.

When I followed up, they said they were moving forward with other candidates. Rejection is part of the process, and I get it, but it felt like a complete waste of my time. I don't know what they're looking for in a candidate. I have other offers, so I am good, and honestly, I think I'm better valued elsewhere.
