Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore
Process
I had two coding interviews with two different, seemingly quite senior software engineers. They were quite chill, but I guess I impressed them when I talked about my experience outside of coding.
For example, I play sports and am the captain of my sports team. Outside of coding, I actively participate in hackathons and competitions. This makes you a better candidate.
