Interview
A recruiter reached out to me to have an interview.
It was simple and a good experience.
He started with small talk, unlike the other interviews.
I was asked general questions about my skills and my career.
I messed up the interview, tho because I was really nervous.
But, in general, it was a pretty fair and good interview.

There were 2 easy and 2 medium questions they were not too crazy but the mediums can catch you off guard. If you practice the common questions you would probably get it.
