The interview process was smooth. You will be speaking both Mandarin and English. They did not ask any technical questions, but more behavioral questions. Relax and you shall be fine. The boss is super friendly. They will let you know everything you need to know about the job during the interview, so you know what to expect. They won't tell you the compensation until you get the offer.
