Software Engineer interview at HCL Tech

This was a short, straightforward interview with about three or four deeper questions about services and APIs. It took place in Hyderabad and felt professional and good in tone.

I did not get the offer because I could not answer important parts of the discussion. The questions were not trying to be tricky; they simply required specific knowledge I did not have ready. I kept thinking afterward about how quickly the conversation moved beyond what I could explain with confidence.

Location: India. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
