Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Prepare about the Architecture of Kafka and also work on developing a good understanding of various types of databases and networking jargons such as Long Polling/Short Polling and how to implement them.

Also, and this is very important -> I am not sure if this company has problem at the recruiter level or this is the general outlook of this company.... if at all you didn't perform well in any of the rounds... say final round or even managerial round. They won't tell you that they have decided to drop your profile or any such thing. A week after the final interview I contacted the recruiter who used to be readily available with all the info and feedbacks was least interested and told me she haven't heard back from the manager whether to drop my case or move forward.

It has been 3 weeks now and no info from them.
And this is not just my experience, many candidates complain about the same kind of behaviour from VISA on various other platforms
