Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Revolut (Londres, Inglaterra)
Entrevista
Communication with HR was very clear, helpful, and pleasant.
What I didn’t like as much was that the technical interviewer had somewhat strange expectation regarding solution implementation. For example, I was expected to use a List instead of a Set for unique elements, which isn't aligned with common best practices.
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered

HR interview, coding interview, then system design interview. No specific feedback from them. I really thought I went well and answered everything at least reasonably, but didn't get an offer.
