Save a specific data from the site you decide and save the results at any database file you wish

Tedious ugly and unrepresentative of any real work. I would never ever recommend Microsoft to any sane person. Terrible company that makes you work overtime!!! People leading projects are even worse, micro managing everyone!
The first part was an HR interview, then a technical interview. During the process, I have received an offer from a different company and I have decided to sign with them, so I have stopped the process with this company

Question 1
Questions regarding Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and pipelines to demonstrate fundamental knowledge in the current DevOps domain
Consisted of 4 rounds of interviews. Each targeting different aspects such as perosnality, skillset, teamwork, problem soliving and more. Learnt a lot from the experience that I'll be able to take into future interviews to get myself a job.
