Behavioral Presentation
I went through a few in-person interviews, which were really relaxed and friendly. For the final stage, I had to put together a presentation, but it wasn't too hard. A friend of mine referred me and kept me in the loop about how things were progressing. It took about a month from start to finish until I got the job offer.
