Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - It is important to thoroughly understand the topic and practically write code to see its application. For instance, in the case of the Singleton design pattern, we might question how we can identify it as a singleton. While we cannot observe it directly, we must determine which class to use for creating a singleton class and understand how this ensures the creation of only one instance.

No matter what the result, you have to respect the candidate's time and interest and inform them about the same. On top of this, the interview itself was a disaster. The interviewer was uninterested and was making the process much more difficult for me, asking irrelevant questions that are not my expertise or complex considering I just have around 2 years of experience in the field. Overall, I just didn't like their attitude towards candidates.
