The 30-minute managerial interview went smoothly — only 4–5 questions covering how I handle difficulty, resume highlights, communication style, and applying technical skills in practice. It wasn’t too hard, and I think I did well. The interviewer will ask follow-up questions to your answers. No offer yet, have to do a second round.
