The interviewer was casual, and the conversation often led to me asking him questions instead of the other way around, very odd energy for a job interview.

Talked to a recruiter over the phone. They asked pretty standard questions. It was nice that they brought up potential issues before I even had to ask about them. They were very clear from the start that you'd need to find clients through your own connections.

It was a really straightforward and low-pressure interview process. They seemed more interested in getting to know me on a personal level rather than asking standard interview questions. It felt more like a casual conversation than a formal interview.
