Software Engineer Interview Experience - Software Engineer Interview, Sep 11
Process
These interviews were no joke — definitely pushed my limits and felt more intense than I was ready for. Kicking off with a technical phone screen, I faced questions on comment notifications and JSON schema validation that really made me think. The final round was a system design challenge about handling large file uploads. Funny enough, the mock scenarios I practiced on PracHub a week before were strikingly similar to what I encountered. It all came together, and I'm thrilled to say I accepted the offer!
