Recruiter Screening:
A recruiter reached out via call to discuss my current role and interest in a switch, after which an interview was scheduled.
Interview - Round 1:
This was a 45-minute technical interview. The interviewer primarily focused on my resume and previous experience, followed by some basic-intermediate Java questions. He concluded in about 30 minutes, allowing me to ask about the role and required technologies for the remaining 15 minutes.
Interview - Round 2:
This 60-minute technical round involved an in-depth discussion on Java concepts, ranging from advanced OOPS paradigms to advanced exception handling. It's crucial to have a strong grasp of Java for this. Afterwards, we moved to problem-solving, where I was asked two LeetCode easy questions: Missing Number and Expressive Words. I provided pseudo-code and focused on explaining my problem-solving approach, which seemed to satisfy the interviewer. Finally, a typical SQL question was posed: to find the employee with minimum salary from each department. Again, I explained my thought process, and the interviewer appeared satisfied with my approach.
