So, my interview experience was pretty cool and I learned a lot. First, we had a communication round, and then a technical interview that was mostly about networking and cloud stuff. In the communication part, they asked me to introduce myself. I did, talking about my background, school, what I'm into technically, and my plans. I mentioned my AWS Cloud Practitioner cert and my project where I used AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3 for a feedback system. I also chatted a bit about school and how it taught me discipline and teamwork, and about my friends, college mentors, and teachers who were supportive. The interviewer seemed to like my communication. Then came the technical round, which was heavy on networking. They started with TCP vs. UDP, and I explained TCP is reliable but UDP is faster. Then we talked about routing tables and how routers pick packet paths. NAT and its types came up, and I explained Static, Dynamic, and PAT. After that, it was DHCP, and I described the Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge steps. They also asked about SMTP for emails and DNS for name resolution. We touched on socket programming and ports like 22, 80, 443, 25, 53. Then, AWS NAT Gateways, how they let private instances reach the internet safely. The last part was a troubleshooting scenario: website access issue. I outlined checking ping, IP config, DNS lookups, and firewall/router settings. There were also quick questions on routers, switches, and DNS protocols. The interviewer liked that I understood networking basics and could explain cloud things. It was a good learning experience, and I feel ready for future interviews.
