I felt like the interviews were pretty friendly, and they asked questions directly grounded in my resume.

The pattern was that they’d start with something from my background and then ask follow-ups to elaborate, so I kept having to go back to specific details I’d written down.

A lot of the weight was on behavioral questioning, but there were also a few technical questions sprinkled in. What made it difficult was less the technical content and more the expectation that I’d be able to defend and expand on the smallest specifics of my own resume.

I didn’t get an offer. Even so, the process didn’t feel adversarial, and I left realizing that the resume isn’t just a form—it’s basically the roadmap
