The main technical interview will check your basic knowledge and coding skills. You should prepare for questions about: the programming languages you know (like Java, C/C++, Python), OOP ideas, data structures and algorithms (arrays, sorting, basic DSA), databases (SQL, joins, normalization), and general CS topics like operating systems and networking. They'll also ask about your past projects and resume, expecting you to explain their architecture, any difficulties you faced, and the technologies used. This part can involve coding problems, whiteboard exercises, and solving practical, real-world scenarios.
