Process
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn, who guided me through some different possibilities.
I ended up skipping the initial interview and went straight to the virtual onsite interview.
The interviews were pretty standard, with some difficult questions and other simple questions.
Some interviewers were very nice and helpful, while others were more serious.
I did not get accepted for L4 (SE III), but I did get accepted as L3.
