A recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin. I spoke with the recruiter first, then the manager, and finally the VP. We talked about my background, my career goals, and what opportunities might be a good fit. Everyone was nice and helpful. I was asked a lot of standard interview questions, and I also got to talk about my strengths and what I want to achieve.
