Question 1
In the hiring manager interview they wanted me to explain the day to day tasks of the position and what I would be doing within that position.
In the business case interview they asked me questions about the API, why they should implement all the endpoints, where should they start, what is the SLA, how would I solve an issue they are having with the XML. All in the roleplay situation.
