Entrevista
Everything was fine until I met the CTO.
He walked in wearing a YC t-shirt, yawning, barely present then proceeded to use a live production issue as his interview question, taking notes while I solved it.
It became clear quickly: he wasn’t evaluating me. He was getting free consulting.
I didn’t undersell my approach. I gave him exactly what he needed.
The rejection letter said I wasn’t “a good fit for a startup of his kind.”
Fair enough, I saw his kind the moment he glanced past me on my way out the door.
No acknowledgment. Nothing.
You can have the funding. You can have the YC badge.
But you can’t buy the basic decency to look someone in the eye after they just solved your problem for free.
I wouldn’t have taken the role anyway.

How you solve my production issue of the day? Perhaps they have many?
2-3 digital interviews, take home coding assignment, call to discuss assignment + system design exercise and a final call with the director. I think the interview process had a good format, with open-ended questions designed more like peers discussing technology rather than rapid fire questions-type of interviews. It was difficult (as it should) but fair and efficient

Roza was great, helped guide me through the process and stages. Interviews were fun and technical with 4 in total. Mostly about how your work etc with a focus on Legora.

Explain a difficult problem you solved recently in your team.
Very weird process.
Had a call with the recruiter who then invited me to a call with a manager.
Manager asks me about my previous projects. Keeps saying "impressive" throughout the call.
I get a rejection just after that saying I need more experience in "DB architecture". Strange when no one actually asked me about it.
I have done DB sharding and partitioning on live production systems, only if someone asks me, I can tell them all about it.
I felt like I was just trolled. May be the recruiter wanted to fill their calendar with calls with no purpose. IDK.
