Interview
This was for a contracting role. It was a short interview to understand my experience to their relevant product. Half talking about my experience and half giving me scenarios on how I would approach the challenges they see.

Question 1
scenario based questions are more in the discussion
I had a 1-hour technical interview with a panel of three interviewers. The atmosphere was friendly and conversational. The interview did not dive deep into architecture or highly technical troubleshooting. Instead, it mainly focused on conceptual questions related to Microsoft 365 / Office 365 products and how the different services work together.
