I was invited to a one-on-one interview with a Microsoft engineer.

The interview started with the interviewer asking about my projects.

He inquired about what I enjoyed most about the projects I had, and also asked how I was able to solve the problems I encountered.

I was questioned about some computer science concepts, and then I had to participate in a 30-minute coding challenge.

With regards to difficulty, I would rate the challenge as average, as it was a standard problem that a seasoned programmer would usually come across.

In short, it was a very direct and fast-paced interview.

Some questions about operating systems.

A coding challenge.

Questions about the projects on my resume.
