Behavioral Technical Coding
I applied back in October and got some updates that they were still looking at applications. In December, they let us resubmit our resumes, and I think that really helped me out. About a week after I resubmitted, they reached out. The whole thing, from when they first contacted me to when I got the offer, took about a month to a month and a half. First, I had an HR call that was behavioral. Then, a couple of weeks later, I talked to the hiring manager. That interview was more detailed. They asked a few technical questions, but mostly we went over my resume, point by point. I also shared my screen and showed them the code from a project I'd done before, and we looked at that for a bit. There weren't any LeetCode problems, but it's a good idea to review programming basics and really know your resume.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you explain the distinction between variables that are defined at compile time versus those that exist at run time?
