Senior Data Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
Process
The recruiter asked me why I had a gap year and how and why I changed countries. I told her it was because I wanted to advance my career and learn a new language. It was also because my partner received an offer abroad.
Her face changed. She didn't mention anything about a code challenge or anything else.
Of course, I was rejected. We all know the reason.
