Process

The on-campus interview was easy. We talked about my favorite classes and projects, then went over a coding question.

I interviewed with the Microsoft Edge team. Every interviewer didn't know Python and expected C/C++, which I hadn't touched in a year or so.

I was able to solve the problems up until the hiring manager interview. He gave a low-level question that required knowledge about assembly architecture, which I did not know.

I don't understand why Microsoft chose for me to interview with this team, but oh well.
