The call with the recruiter lasted 20 minutes. It was an easy, straightforward conversation covering background, experience, and interest in the role. The responsibilities, team structure, and next steps were explained clearly. The recruiter was friendly and provided time to ask questions about the role or the team.

Made it to the recruiter screen, everything went smoothly in terms of scheduling. After the screen would've been 2 one hours calls, then an onsite interview. After that, hopefully an offer.
