This was a phone interview with the hiring manager, team lead, and senior C# developer. The questions were very technical, and I felt unprepared, even though I consider myself a good C# developer. My advice is to "do a LOT of homework" beforehand. Even if you think you're a good developer, make sure you know very technical information. They will grill you.

Questions I remembered:

• Why are you looking to switch jobs?
• How good of a C# developer are you?
• Describe an interface.
• Tell me about deadlocks that can occur in a multi-threaded application.
• Is it better performance-wise to use a cursor in a stored procedure?
• What is the difference between a struct and a class?
• Have you used JQuery UI?
• What would your manager say are your strong suits?
• How would you pass an array to a stored procedure?
• Have you worked with ASMX/web services?
• What are the benefits of using SOAP/HTTP over binary data from a web service?
• How can LINQ be used other than for querying data?
• Can LINQ be used on a List?
• What are some of the features that you've used with ASP.Net 4.0?
• How often do you release builds?
• Have you worked with MVC? What is it?
• What are some issues with using ViewState?
• How would you set up pagination of data?
