Final Thoughts

Process πŸ‘‰ A recruiter reached out through Naukri. πŸ‘‰ 4 Tech Rounds(1st - DSA round, 2nd- Core Javascript Fundamentals, 3rd - Web Fundamentals, 4th - Managerial) Key takeaways: βœ… It hurt a bit more than the others, since I was genuinely hopeful about this opportunity. βœ… Interviews test not only what you know, but how clearly you articulate your thought process. βœ… Early rejections are not failures - they’re stepping stones that sharpen both your technical depth and the way you communicate it.
