Interview
Tougher than expected interview! They asked a priority question that I was not prepared for so make sure you are critically thinking during the interview. It also seemed like they asked the same question in four different ways which tripped me up.

Interview process was lengthy. Once I had the initial interview with the hiring manager over the phone which was super conversational and easy, I was scheduled for a panel style interview via Zoom since I lived out of state. 4 weeks later I checked in with the hiring manager for an update since I had not heard back and it was at that point that she let me know that they offered the role to someone else.
