A recruiter got in touch via LinkedIn, and I went through 5 interviews with different employees and managers. The whole thing took about 5 weeks, mainly because of scheduling issues due to the big time difference between EST and China. Many interviewers were Chinese and English wasn't their first language, which was a bit tough and needed extra patience and clear communication to make sure we were on the same page. Best to avoid jargon and keep things simple to prevent misunderstandings. The questions were really focused on my specific field and how to solve problems within it.
