Microsoft Software Engineer interview questions

Got the interview request with a recruiter, followed by a technical phone screen, then a 6-hour onsite interview. First three interviews onsite were technical, followed by two conversational interviews with the hiring manager and upper management. Technical interviews were not that difficult to solve, but riddled with off-by-one errors and edge cases. My biggest mistake was not leaving myself enough room on the board when I started.

I got the opportunity to interview through a networking event. I interviewed for two different roles, Software engineer and Support Engineer. I had been to their office, and there were six back to back interviews each of 45 minutes. It was a mixture of some basic technical and behavioral questions. Within a week, I was told I will have a second interview with a hiring manager for the Software engineer position. I was excited that this was going to be a final round before they could decide about the job offer. But it was very tough, I did not expect a technical interview with a hiring manager. And I had cleared the preliminary rounds to get to this second round.
