Technical round was good, right questions been asked and was of pretty standard. PDM round was socking to me because the guy who was taking my Interview seems absolutely non technical but he was pretending like he was jack of all. he told me to literally spell out every single tech stack that I have mentioned in my CV. You can Imagine his technical competency just by this question which he had asked "Why are you using SpringBoot which is a legacy application to write Microservices" . Firstly, I could not even grab that question, Once I asked again to repeat the question he got annoyed and was saying like he doesn't understand what is my current role.
