Software Engineer Internship Interview Experience - Fremont, California
Process
They initially rejected me, but a recruiter later reached out because I had some projects using Golang.
The interview was rescheduled twice, and my initial interviewer was changed.
During the interview, I was asked many questions about networking, such as, "What happens after you type a link into a browser's search bar and click 'Enter'?"
After this, I was given a LeetCode medium problem, which I didn't solve in the optimal way.
