Describe a recent project and your biggest challenge

Behavioral questions

You have 5–10 minutes to answer, using a structured approach (e.g., STAR).

1. Self-introduction: Give a concise overview of your background and what you’ve been working on recently.
2. Deep dive on a recent project:
   • Pick one project you worked on recently (ideally end-to-end impact).
   • Explain the goal, your role, scope, stakeholders, and what you personally delivered.
   • Be prepared for clarification questions (requirements, constraints, trade-offs, and results/metrics).
3. Biggest difficulty: Describe the most difficult problem you encountered in that project.
   • What made it hard (technical ambiguity, data issues, scaling, cross-team alignment, timeline, etc.)?
   • What actions did you take?
   • What was the outcome and what did you learn?

Goal: Demonstrate ownership, communication, and learning mindset—not just technical details.
