Behavioral Technical

Started with an initial discover call with the recruiter. Like most Security companies, they're looking for a Sales Engineer who can also do the selling. The call wasn't heavily focused on my experience, but more on my background in Cyber Security.

Behavioral Technical Presentation Case

I had a really good interview experience here, it was quite a long process overall, but everyone I spoke with was super knowledgeable and a pleasure to interview with. I went through 8 rounds of interviews, and each one was a positive experience.
