I had a pretty smooth experience overall, and the timeline moved quickly.

After getting my resume in front of the right people—often through career fairs, referrals, or quick HR follow-ups—I ended up with an interview loop that stayed mostly technical.

The pattern I ran into repeatedly was coding-heavy work delivered over SSH. I got temporary login access and connected to their server, then solved problems in the terminal. Depending on the exact screen, I used an editor like vim because local tooling like VS Code wasn’t an option. Some interviews started with a resume review or a brief self-intro, but then moved straight into coding questions.
