Summary
I had a positive learning experience interviewing for an SDE 2 role at Fluxon. Although I answered most questions well, I stumbled on a query optimization follow-up, which ultimately led to a rejection.
Full Experience
Round 1: The interview started with a brief introduction, an overview of the company, and a discussion about the role and responsibilities.
Overall Experience: The interview was a positive learning experience. However, as it was for a startup, the evaluation standard was high with little room for error. I stumbled during the query optimization part, but answered the rest well. Ultimately, I received a rejection.
