Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Revolut
Entrevista
I didn't apply, a recruiter reached out to me through LinkedIn. First interview was with HR asking about my experience etc. Second interview was to implement a thread safe shortener url following SOLID and everything has to be tested. Even though I implemented it in a thread-safe way, following SOLID principles, the feedback I got was that I had difficulties understanding the tasks and only detailing the negative points of the interview, which seems a harsh for how the interview went. I should have expected this from the other reviews i have seen here. Also, the technical interviewer had a strong russian accent that was not easy to understand.
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.
HR interview, coding interview, then system design interview. No specific feedback from them. I really thought I went well and answered everything at least reasonably, but didn't get an offer.

Design Revolut Stays. Hotel info comes from an external partner. Bookings must be done through the external partner as well.
Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered
