UrbanCode interview questions

Great phone conversation with IBM recruiter. At the end of the call we felt my skills matched well with the job listing. I then formally filled out the application online for the position. Days later I was rejected because I answered I didn't have a masters degree which was listed on the online application. Then took a number of days working with IBM to have my application reopened but ultimately had to reapply because the system would not release my application from rejection. After getting through the application successfully the next step was an hour code along virtually with a team member. I had explained in the interview call I was not a backend developer and reiterated to the interviewer that my skillset didn't include backend programming but we proceeded to go over a test of my ability to cleaning a data input/output problem. The team member was very kind as we stumbled through the entire hour answering questions I knew very little about. I bombed it miserably and none of the skills I discussed with the recruiter were brought up only this data cleanup exercise. I felt completely defeated after getting off of the call. Needless to say I didn't move on to the next round. I felt frustrated that my call with the recruiter went so well and I was assured that the team had plenty of fullstack devs so my need to write MV* JavaScript or handle backend solutions weren't needed.
