Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is virtual memory, and how do you convert CPU logical address to a physical address in memory?
Good. Technical details were discussed clearly, together with my past projects and relevant domain knowledge. The interview was well structured and focused, with questions that allowed me to present my experience, technical background, and problem-solving approach in a coherent way.
Posso dizer que num geral positiva, processo rápido, em uma semana foi realizado. Perguntas de nível médio, bem técnicas mesmo e assertivas. Entrevistadores simpáticos, duração longa de entrevista, mas foram ok.
