I gotta revise my Python, Flask, React, and MySQL. I also need to practice data structures, algorithms, SQL queries, joins, APIs, and authentication, plus debugging. Gotta strengthen my Git, REST, deployment, and optimization skills. Then, I'll be solving coding challenges, doing mock interviews, and working on system design, problem-solving, scalability, communication, confidence, and speed.

Behavioral

I signed up for a 15 minute phone screen with the recruiter. A few days before my interview, she emails me and says the spot has been filled up and she will interview me for another similar SWE role if I want, so I said okay. The phone screen just asks basic questions and she says she will give her notes to the Hiring Manager who will contact me in 1-1.5 weeks. The Hiring Manager never contacts me in 1-1.5 weeks. After 2 weeks, I get a generic update email that they do not want to continue to interview me.
