Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Contacted by a recruiter.

Started with a phone call with the recruiter, who asked me questions about my recent projects and work experience. Why am I changing my present company if it's really good?

Answered them well, and they moved forward to the next step. (Phone Screen)

Phone screen was scheduled on time (as per my availability), and the interviewer was a little late, which is totally okay.

I was asked about myself, my experience, my projects, and minute details from the resume.

Then I was questioned about ML basics and why I am choosing a particular technique over others.

Followed by a coding challenge. I answered that really well; I lacked a bit in the first few minutes but eventually landed up with two different approaches for the same problem (I got hints here and there).

Long story short, I completed the coding challenge (which I later checked, the solution was accurate), and then I asked a few questions to the interviewer about LinkedIn, the culture, the daily life, etc.

They answered all my questions really politely, and we ended the call.

Final Update: They didn't move forward with my application (this was shocking, honestly).

I didn't see this coming from the way I coded the questions and answered everything else well.
