Interview Process
The onsite interview took place last week. The recruiter provided feedback that the technical skills were very strong, but there were concerns about leadership and collaboration signals. The interview included a deep dive with standard behavioral questions and a project explanation, for which I prepared a diagram.
The interviewers included a relatively young South Asian female manager and a South Asian team lead who seemed to dominate the conversation. It felt like they had already made up their minds about me, as I had answered similar behavioral questions successfully in previous interviews.
Technical Questions

Tips & Insights
I felt confident in my technical answers, but it seemed that the initial impression influenced the outcome. It’s important to consider how first impressions can affect the interview process.
