Coding problem2
The interview began with a regular discussion about me and the interviewer. He started questioning me about my previous internship. It was a brief discussion on the points that I mentioned in my resume for 20 minutes.
After the resume discussion, I was asked to rate myself from 1 to 5 in HTML/CSS, Javascript and React, where 1 was the lowest, and 5 was the highest point. I ranked myself 5 in HTML/CSS and 4 in Javascript/React.
From here, the actual interview started. I was asked basic questions about HTML, like the difference between inline and block elements and different ways to define CSS in HTML.
After grinding on JS for around 20 minutes, we moved to ReactJS, and he asked about Lifecycle methods and virtual DOM. He asked me about typescript as I had some experience with typescript language. He also told me they had migrated the groww project from javascript to typescript.
After nearly 50–60 minutes, we ended our call, and I was very excited and nervous about my interview result. I was going out for dinner when I got the mail from HR for my last round (Cultural Fit)
