Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between WSGI and ASGI?
How can you optimize memory usage in Python?
What is monkey patching in Python?
Explain key OOP concepts in Python.
How do you design a database for a given use case?
What is the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python, and how does it affect multi-threading?
Invited for an HR screening only to be immediately rejected for not having enough YOE. If this was a hard requirement why even schedule a call in the first place? A complete waste of time for both parties.
The interview consists of two rounds and takes about a month. It mainly asks about the understanding of the business and the ability to cooperate with others, and also includes some assessment of personal technical abilities
I was referred into Thoughtworks Bengaluru. After a basic HR screen, a PM grilled me on BA-style scenarios. After that, I prepped a two-day case study to roleplay a consultant.
