I was approached by a recruiter about a role for which I might be a great fit. After an initial phone screen, they apparently changed their mind and referred me to a different role. I felt I wasn't that great of a fit for this second role, but I agreed to continue the application process.

After the initial talks with the recruiter, there were five rounds of interviews.

These included:

• A really good initial conversation with the hiring manager.
• Two interviews on systems design.
• One coding interview.
• A work experience interview.

I did not receive an offer, which isn't surprising as I wasn't a great fit for this role anyway.

Systems design: Design a search engine for videos, which contains an index of all videos in YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
