Before things ended, the technical topics I saw leaned toward basic cloud concepts, but the interview emphasis shifted toward customer-facing concerns.

The questions were less about raw engineering trivia and more about customer obsession and how to think through sales channels.

I didn’t get the offer because I didn’t perform as well on that customer-facing interview segment. Even though the process included cloud-related basics, it was clearly the customer-focused part that became the deciding factor.

It was a tough conclusion because the role seemed to mix technical grounding with communication and product-thinking, and I didn’t land those parts strongly enough to move forward.
