Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between an abstract class and interface?
The initial interview proceeded well, but the subsequent technical interview proved to be quite challenging. With over 40 questions presented within a tight timeframe, the experience was notably stressful and felt somewhat impersonal. The questions seemed tailored for short, direct responses, lacking the depth I anticipated, particularly in exploring reasoning or critical thinking aspects relevant to the role.
Furthermore, there were moments of concern during the interview, particularly after navigating through .Net and database-related queries, where the interviewer appeared to confuse React with TypeScript. This discrepancy, alongside the rapid-fire question format, significantly impacted the overall experience, leaving me somewhat disheartened by the process.
