I applied on Indeed and was invited for an interview. I expected it to be just a first-round screening, but it turned out that I was interviewed by the CTO and CEO. They mentioned that the interview would be divided into three parts: the first part involved live debugging in Python, the second part in React.js, and the last part consisted of general interview questions. During the live debugging sessions, we were not allowed to use AI coding tools.
In the first Python debugging round, I found myself debugging very slowly as I am relatively new to Python (having only started learning it a year ago for machine learning purposes). After the first Python test, they halted the interview and informed me that I was not a suitable fit for the position.
