Apple Full Stack Developer Interview
Summary
My interview for a Full Stack Developer role at Apple included rounds focusing on React basics, Hooks, Virtual DOM, and a design problem involving a paginated table. The backend round covered Java SpringBoot, API Gateway, Redis, hashcode/equals, a Spiral Matrix DSA problem with a vertical variation, and a system design discussion on Spotify's architecture (relational DB vs. S3). My React round went well, but the backend round was challenging due to the interviewer's skepticism, causing me to panic a bit.
