Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
Started with recruiter screen, then technical screen with engineering manager, then a virtual loop with multiple rounds.
Overall pretty straightforward but the technical screen was a bit different, not leetcode but was asked to design an API, so a bit low level design.
Phone screening for the position in PowerBI team. I was asked one simple binary search coding question, BQ, and front end fundamentals. Good interview experience but not match my tech stack.
