I survived 2 rounds, at reject at last. - All interview from US with similiar background, it is kind of yellow flag, imho. - HR interview, basically why do you apply/what is your status etc. - Coding interview&Incident handling: Leetcode 121 - max profit(on hackerrank, execution expected) with no follow up/tell me a time you handle incident. - System design: Design system that takes executable along side with the cron schedule, execute tasks everywhile. Even though I thought I did pretty good, I got rejected, weird!
