The recruiter was vague about the first round, leaving me unsure of what to expect. Then, a junior developer interviewed me for a Staff position. Their understanding of JavaScript was unclear, and they rejected a simple question with a different solution than they expected. This junior developer seemed uninterested and unprofessional, not someone you'd expect to interview a Staff-level candidate.

Coding System Design
I went through 2 rounds of interviews. First was DSA and LLD. After the LLD round, there was a HLD round. The LLD round was a bit unusual because the interviewer was looking for a very specific answer. The DSA round was manageable, similar to LeetCode medium difficulty problems.
Confirmed questions4 questions
- What is the Longest Common Subsequence between two given strings?
- Can you solve this DSA problem, which is about LeetCode medium level?
- Let's discuss LLD, it was a bit unconventional and the interviewer wanted a specific answer.

A recruiter contacted me about a Staff Engineer role, given my 8.5+ years of experience. I accepted, and the process began. My first interview revealed I was being considered for Senior Software Engineer, but the recruiter assured me it was indeed for Staff Engineer and any confusion would be cleared up. Following this, an HR representative explained that the company has a flat structure, so the designation wouldn't impact compensation or role. I proceeded, completing a second technical interview. In the subsequent interview, the interviewer insisted I wasn't a good fit for SSE with my experience and current role, quizzing me on JS and attempting to disprove my answers, even requiring code execution to validate correctness. It was an unfortunate experience.

- Can you explain JS closures?
