Behavioral Coding

The interviewer started by asking about my resume, like experiences, skills, and projects. I had to talk more about past projects, the tech I used, and my part in them. Then, we moved to coding questions to check my programming and problem-solving. The questions were from easy to hard, and I had to solve them on a whiteboard, a shared platform, or just explain how I would. This part showed my coding skills and how I solve problems.

Technical Behavioral

Got contacted by HR pretty much right after applying on LinkedIn. Then had a Hiring Manager round which was purely technical and they seemed to like me. They mentioned another technical round but before that HR called to discuss salary requirements, and basically told me what they could pay. I asked for a small raise, and they said they'd get back to me if it was possible. A week later, they called back saying they were still looking into it. It's been over a month now, so I guess they can't afford me.
