Attempt N towards getting a job!

Yoe ~6
Exp: MNC (including MAANG and previously worked at Microsoft)
Currently Laid off from last org.

Was contacted by a recruiter for Hiring Drive. 2 Technical rounds were scheduled on the same day.

Round 1:

Started with brief introduction around current projects.
Followed by a basic coding problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-linked-list/description/

Was able to provide the approach and working code in 7-8 mins.

The discussion then followed around tech stack and other related questions: Difference between ASP .net and .net Core, How the information is persisted when a user logs in to a portal, How Authentication works in cloud, e2e CI/CD process and flow, how Kubernetes comes into picture, How sessions are created/work in ASP .net, SOLID principles, Advantages of Dependency inversion principle, What's Active directory, What happens when a user logs in to a site, Microservice vs Monolith architecture, which is better for debugging, how to handle multiple correlation ids while debugging requests that land on multiple microservices, code deployment on PODs and debugging.

The round didnt go well as was stuck on a few of the above questions.

Got a call from the recruiter that the Second round for the day is cancelled.

This was for Azure CXP team.

Hope this helps!
