How the interview is evaluated
- Technical depth: fundamentals in one programming language, your projects, and CS basics (DBMS, OS, networks at a conceptual level).
- Communication: clear, structured answers matter as much as correct ones — practice answering out loud.
- Attitude and flexibility: willingness to learn, relocate and work across technologies is weighted heavily for service-company roles.
