Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied online. The process took 1 day.
They ask if you got a degree first. If no, do not bother. Even though you have 10+ years in software and architecting services at scale. Usually they lead with a LeetCode style, or ghost you if you indicate no degree. I hear, you need special approval for non-degree holders. Backwards!!
