I was contacted by a recruiter to discuss my salary expectations, my reasons for wanting to move from my current role, and why Toast.

After that, I was scheduled for a one-hour technical video call with two senior engineers from Toast. They asked me to complete a HackerRank challenge in about 30 minutes.

If I passed that code challenge, I would then have to complete another four-hour interview.

Everyone was really nice to me; it's a pity I didn't do great at the code challenge.

HackerRank challenge:

A typical problem involves an integer array containing stock prices, where each position in the array represents one second.

You are asked to return the maximum profit, assuming you can only buy and sell once, and the difference between the buy and sell times must be at least five seconds long.
