Interview
This was a very funny interview. The interview questions were very simple but still the interviewer was looking for answers in certain fashion. And after getting to know about the break from work I took and the "deligency" in taking that break, he took it a little personal I think. Anyways it was going to be a practice interview so I am not bothered but it could have been interesting but it was not. I had some trouble sharing my ide's screen but that got sorted out. Man what a dissapointing interview. I won't even call it a practice interview anymore.
Tip: Don't share personal stuff with anyone.
