US Air Force Software Engineer interview experience

They asked about how DOM elements can be nested, and specifically what would happen when a child’s handler fires—whether it would also trigger behavior on the parent.

It was hard in the sense that it required me to know the mechanics precisely, but the structure felt focused. There wasn’t a long chain of behavioral questions described around it—just that scenario-style technical prompt.

I didn’t end up getting an offer. Looking back, it reminded me that at least some rounds were genuinely checking specific technical knowledge rather than relying purely on general fit.
