After a recruiter call, I went through a short series of online interviews. We started with my background and projects, then moved to a medium LeetCode-style question. I had to explain my approach and why I'd chosen it. The interviewer kept returning to the details, almost walking through every step again, and I grew more nervous as the questions continued.
The coding itself felt manageable. When there was room for follow-ups, we discussed performance, modern language features, memory management, concurrency-style reasoning and trade-offs in structuring the work. Even with a medium problem, the pressure of the conversation made precision feel essential.
The loop wasn't especially long, but it had enough rounds for problems with communication or language choice to matter. I didn't get an offer. What stayed with me was how closely the interviewers examined each moment of my explanation, even after I'd conveyed the main idea.
Location: Singapore. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
