Beware of fake interviews
I was interviewing for a position that I was told was the last headcount for the team. The process was quite long, involving six rounds of onsite interviews. The interviewers seemed a bit unprepared, and the conversations felt more like they were going through the motions rather than genuinely assessing my skills for an open role.
After about a month, I was rejected without any specific feedback. Shortly after, the same recruiter started reaching out to me about other job openings I had not applied for. This made me feel like the initial interview process may have been for a position that was already filled, and my candidacy was used to "pump up the numbers."
I've heard from others that this can be a pattern. If you notice signs like unnecessary interview rounds, repetitive questions, a position being described as the "last headcount," or unprepared interviewers, it's a strong sign the position has already been filled. It might be time to move on to other opportunities.

After sending in the application, I received an email to schedule a call with a developer from the US. Pretty standard Leetcode questions on efficiency and understanding basic logic. The interview included a live coding session and ended pretty quickly.
