Interview
I applied through a recruiter. Spoke with Hr regarding background and soon after first interview was scheduled for 1 hour. This interview went on for 1.5 hours though. They did a thorough check of the room i was in and also asked for id before the interview started. During the interview, the interviewer was extremely patient and polite. He started by asking about background and hobbies and went on to do a deeper technical dive in. He covered all the aspects of my resume starting from my first experience to my latest experience. Lot of ML questions, GenAI questions( as i had project mentioned in my resume), PowerBI(also from resume),Pyspark basics.
The interviewer was kind and patient enough to explain things that I didnt know and not get frustrated immediately if i answer incorrectly or am confused. I could answr most questions but thy wer looking mainly for GenAi role and I had limited knowledge regarding that.
