C# developer interview questions and preparation.
My mini story.
I recently had a situation where I needed to change employers.
Many people like to travel, so I decided I wanted to spend some time working remotely from anywhere in the world, but the company I worked for unfortunately could only allow me to work remotely within my own country.
In fact, I didn't want to leave my current place at all, the company was just awesome and the team was just space.
The technology that was used really pleased me, of course not everything was top notch, but the fire in the eyes and the desire to move forward was very much felt.
In addition, I served as a Team Leader on the team (meaning Tech Lead).
Interview Preparation.
Turning to reputable search sources, I found so many articles, and all of the articles had their own history of interview questions.
If you summarize the various articles, you get a large folio of questions that could be studied for months.
Of course, I already knew the answers to some of these questions, but my study time was limited to two weeks.
The solution was to change the way these questions were filled out and to focus more on overlapping questions from different articles.
Plus add a more important priority on recent articles.
Once I had finalized my list and sorted out my outstanding questions, I started sending out my resumes to the companies I was interested in.
The responses were for various mid to senior level positions in C# Developer Backend/Full Stack as well as Tech Lead/Team Lead.
After I got past the first HR phase, they started calling me for technical interviews.
The results of my study were almost exactly the same as the data already available, but there were still some differences.
After about twenty interviews, I prepared a list of questions that were asked.
A list of technical interview questions for C# developers.
The most common questions are sorted in descending order at the top.
The list is categorized by language and related libraries.
