A technical recruiter from Barclaycard US emailed me via LinkedIn about this position. I responded and wanted to talk with them, because I wanted to advance. After getting through the recruiter interview, I had to wait a week to find out if I'll be scheduled a second interview, which is the phone screening.

At the phone screening, I was supposed to talk to their senior mobile technical lead, but he got pulled out due to a meeting last minute. So I spoke to his assistant.

During the phone screening, he asked me two questions and gave me a technical coding test, where I had to use CoderPad (coderpad.io) to code, compile and run the code in real-time (the interviewer would see it.)

During the coding test, I was unable to solve it, which prompted the interviewer to tell me the solution and remarked, "If you couldn't solve it, then God help you." We both then ended the call.

Tell me more about yourself.
