Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, British Columbia
Process
Applied online and got an invite to chat with a recruiter.
The recruiter call was to get to know my current experience and at least my knowledge of DB transactions.
I received an invite for an online challenge. The online challenge was SQL and Node.js.
The technical round was the next step, and it was all system design. I would not say it was hard, but be ready to talk about DB and system design.
