Interview
1:1 30mins screen with a FDE
The interviewer is nice. Asked a lot a lot technical details in my resume. And then asked a few bahavioural questions.
"do you have any questions for me? " he kept recording my performance on his side, and asking me to keep asking him questions. I ended up asking 7-8 questions, which I felt that was a little bit out of expectation. At the end, he said I might receive the next step interview from the HR in the next few days. However after 3 weeks I got a rej letter which said their org is changing hiring priority now.
