Interview Day Reminders
✦Always start your answer with the bottom line — what you did and what happened — then fill in context. Interviewers lose attention fast.
✦Use your Walmart and Macy's stories as much as possible. Real specifics (nTransit, geofencing, image compression, 100M+ users) land way better than generic answers.
✦For Swift/iOS theory, anchor it: "In my experience at Walmart..." — it shows you actually lived it, not just read it.
✦Behavioral questions: follow STAR loosely but don't be robotic. Just tell the story naturally and make sure you clearly say what you did.
✦It's okay to pause before answering. "Let me think about that for a second" is a sign of a senior engineer, not a weakness.
