In a “behavioral” round that is mostly technical discussion, respond to prompts like:
-
What
new skill
did you learn recently? Why and how did you learn it?
-
Describe a team
conflict
you faced. What did you do and what was the outcome?
-
In a past project, how did the
frontend and backend integrate
(API design, contracts, versioning, testing)?
-
How was work divided on your team? How did you
collaborate
day-to-day?
-
How do you
debug
to pinpoint where a bug is (client vs server vs data vs environment)?
-
Do you use
AI tools
in your workflow? For what tasks, and how do you manage risk?
-
Do you regularly read
documentation
? How do you find answers efficiently?
-
Did your project include
tests
? What types (unit/integration/e2e) and what was the strategy?
-
Did your project include
documentation
? What did you document and how did you keep it current?
-
Why did you
switch fields/roles
(if applicable), and what did you do to close gaps?
Provide answers that are specific, technically credible, and include trade-offs and results.
