I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in Jan 2021
Interview
general questions about my plans, why I am leaving my current company, discussion about my expectations regarding workload and salary etc. Discussing about the next step which is about technical skills and live coding
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
latest experience, examples, challenges, what I am looking for
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered
