I had a very positive interview experience. Although the original role was posted for a senior-level position, I reached out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn to express my interest and share my background. The manager was responsive and encouraged me to share my resume.
Shortly after, a recruiter contacted me and coordinated an interview with one of the team members. The process felt smooth, professional, and well-organized. I really appreciated how open the team was to considering candidates who may not perfectly match the senior-level requirement but show relevant skills and potential.
