they gave you only a few days to prep? if so then the technical can't be anything difficult.

first half typical behavioural interview nothing strange. Second half technical - i was asked to do actual coding (mostly easy) (: . No group exercise or anything like that.


Leetcode type questions or build a web app type questions for the technical part?
