The HR interview was really friendly and welcoming, which helped set a positive tone at the beginning of the process. The screening questions during that stage were quite straightforward and normal, easy enough to handle without much stress. However, when it came to the technical interview, although the difficulty level wasn’t extremely high, the questions were outside of my core area of expertise. Unfortunately, that caused me to struggle during the interview, and I ended up choking on some of the questions. As a result, I wasn’t able to perform as well as I had hoped and ultimately didn’t pass the technical round.
