I went into the process knowing I’d likely be evaluated on how I presented and whether I could handle a hands-on technical sales portion.

During the demo, questions came up about Cloudflare infrastructure. What threw me off was that many of the questions felt more like they were digging into backend systems than into the actual presentation and customer-facing flow I’d prepared. It also surprised me that the interviewers didn’t seem to appreciate the time and effort I’d spent
