Q1. What's your proudest achievement? It can be a personal project or something you've worked on professionally. Just a short paragraph is fine, but I'd love to know why you're proud of it. Q2. Write some code, that will flatten an array of arbitrarily nested arrays of integers into a flat array of integers. e.g. [[1,2,[3]],4] -> [1,2,3,4]. Q3. In the file public_access.log.txt, you'll find a standard HTTP access log ... something that we all need to parse from time to time, usually in the heat of an outage. Create a command line script called weblog_helper that can provide the two features listed below: - Return all log lines that correspond to a given source IP address - Return all log lines that correspond to a given IP CIDR network

The interview panel was of 2 members, they asked my 3 key skills from the skills mentioned in the CV. I said ASP.net, C# and SQL. The started questioning me. They were having a list of 20 questions which i guess was given to them for the interview. I was able to answer most of the questioins from page life cycle to string operations to sorting to searching an element. They also asked SYstem.IO based questions to read the notepad file and then do manipulations. The interview went for around one and half hours and i was expecting it to be cleared. Then the HR came to be and there I was told in a straight forward manner that they cant pay me that i was expecting. Even they were not providing any hike on my current pay package. So i thought to better leave and not to waste my time.
