This was for Forbes Advisor, a technical arm of Forbes which is into money advising. Not sure if it is at the startup stage or not, because a Lead who spoke to me supposedly does not have much experience.
I was first interviewed for SDE II position. After this round, and a month later, I was called up again, and told that now they will interview me for Technical Lead, and that my candidature was put on hold till now. Now this round was with a senior person, who was quite interested in checking if I knew answer to just one scenario based Spring question. After this, it was just talking about projects and work at Forbes Advisor.
Now I was curious to know the status because the work as described seemed to be interesting involving new stack, and put in a mail a week later. Lo and behold, my candidature was again put on hold..
