Citi Software Engineer interview experience

The conversation started with questions about my CV and experience, but it quickly became more intense and interactive—I had to share my screen and walk through what I was doing in my coding IDE while solving questions.

The interview had two clear stages: a technical interview first, then an interview with the hiring manager right after. Across both, a lot of the weight was on how I approached the problems, not just the final result. I ended up spending real time showing my working rather than talking abstractly, and that made it feel more like an engineering conversation than a typical Q&A
