I got the email the day before my interview, so I didn't have much time to revise my basics. The interview was for an hour. The interviewer didn't switch on her camera, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable as it felt like I was talking to myself. I had an MC project on my resume, so the whole hour she asked me about that project, deep into it.
