Behavioral Technical Coding
I had two rounds of interviews: first an HR Screening, then a Virtual Technical Round. The HR person told me the technical interview would focus on Problem Solving and SQL, which I double-checked with them. But when I got to the actual interview, it was all about Core Java. It's frustrating when recruiters aren't upfront about the interview content, especially when you're already juggling studying for multiple interviews on top of a demanding full-time job.
