Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Revolut (Varsovia, Mazovia) en feb 2023
Entrevista
There were two phases of the interview. In the first one, I had two coding tasks in Java (to check TDD and general proficiency in programming). The second one focused more on concurrency in Java (writing some pseudocode to transfer money between bank accounts). I was also asked some questions about databased (ACID, transaction isolation levels, indexes, etc.)

Pregunta 1
Q: What transaction isolation levels do you know and could you describe it in details
HR -> Live coding -> Tech -> System design
Overall the before starting the recruitment process it's worth mastering concurrency, DB(especially PostgresSQL), and transaction management. Company seems to be working mostly with Java, Kotlin and a little with Scala
I got contacted by a recruiter. As a first step, I had a call with another recruiter. He was also asking technical questions, but it felt strange. (A bit like talking to a wall.)
I was rejected with a generic message stating that I was not "aligned with the position". This is weird as it was inbound and based on my profile. No feedback, of course.
Waste of time.
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
