Interview
One of the most difficult interview of my life.
I always thought that a difficult interview would be a technical one. It is not true anymore, at least for me.
It was pretty intense but super formative.
I did an informal meeting with the future boss of around 20 minutes. Presentation of my background and work. Lab visit. Formal interview with future boss of 2.5 hours.
