Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was pretty much sure that I would pass L1 round and hoping for L2 round. I was interviewing for Generative AI Engineer. It was full 1 hr. The interviewer was less experienced than me. He asked me about my current work and focused more on previous work. I gave 80% correct answers and still did not make it. Don't know what they were expecting from me. Then I thought, maybe they are just taking the interview for the name sake. Sometimes, rejections are baseless.
