My process started with an HR call, then a technical screen, and then a final set of rounds that included behavioral, a deeper technical discussion, and system design.

Overall, the process was moving in a normal order and felt structured, but the difficulty came from specific technical expectations.

I got stumped in the technical depth portion during a fullstack-style exercise, and part of the problem was that I needed more time to fully understand the prompt—it involved network concepts, and that background gap really showed. I also struggled in the system design section because it was my first time doing a system design interview, and I underestimated how much structure and specifics they wanted.

Even with all that, the interview didn’t feel unfair so
