Technical Technical
I had an interview for a Senior Java Developer position that requires 4+ years of experience. Honestly, the whole experience was pretty bad. I went through two interviews, and both were focused on core Java, and I felt like I did really well in both. But then, I was told I didn't pass the second round. It was weird because the second interviewer didn't even seem that into it and just fired off questions super fast, which isn't really a great way to interview someone.
