I began the hiring process with a phone call from HR, during which we discussed the responsibilities of the position and clarified the company’s expectations. Subsequently, I had a Zoom interview featuring a HackerRank coding challenge, where I explained my approach and problem-solving steps in detail. Following the coding session, I participated in a Q&A discussion that covered topics such as team dynamics, project scope, and opportunities for professional development. Overall, the entire process, from the initial HR call to the final feedback, spanned approximately two weeks.

Question 1
Discuss a project that was challenging and how I proceeded.
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.
