Process
A recruiter contacted me via an online portal and we had an initial phone screening to understand my current experience and expectations for the position and to see if there was a match. They then set up a technical phone interview of 1 hour. Initially, the interviewer asked about my experience, coding language preference, and why I wanted to switch. The coding interview itself was a medium-difficulty question. I could not complete the optimization part of the interview and was therefore rejected.
