Why do you think we should hire you when so many are being laid off?
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
The interview was good at the beginning. After HR, the technical one was a little bit overwhelming due to AI technologies. So after that, I asked about other processes for python technologies, but there wasn't a match.
Started off with easy leetcode style questions. The second round was more of a LLD OOP design round and the third round was just a discussion around my past project. Good Interview!
