This interview process was semi in the dark for me. I am a soon-to-be recent graduate and applied to many software engineering positions. As a software engineering novice with mainly educational experience and one internship, some questions asked were out of my experience. However, when I noted he tried to give me a hint and get an answer regardless. In addition, I made him aware of the fact that most courses do not teach many of the concepts but merely introduce them. In a sense, it felt demeaning.
