[vermilinguas]

Great job, guys! I am looking forward for such mock interviews! 😉

[berndeveloper]

I would love to have this kind of interview for a Senior position :')

[abdullohmaraimov]

This video is super useful for those starting their journey as software developer, i hope more such kind of videos from your side. Thank you!

[kensaitakeso]

Part 2 PANDAS injection !! :) sounds funny😂 plz correct

[Exterminator]

Great job, guys! Both of you showed high level of skills. Credits to Bartosz for professional leading of the interview and, of course, to Rodion for concise, but detailed answers! The live coding solution by Rodion looked really cool: short and efficient. And many thanks to Anywhere Club for organizing this fantastic interview!

[SerhiiPylypenko-ow]

Oh my.
OOP basics, equals/hashCode contract, purpose of GC existence, difference between HashMap and TreeMap, some basics of Spring framework, unit testing...
Is this interview for junior position?
If so, is 5+ years of experience a prerequisite for junior?
This is tough.

25:09 or via Reflection.

Fir me constructor is the best one

[cugoman]

imagine coming across this in 50 years time, probably no one would care but it would still make sense to some people.

[kensaitakeso]

Good work chaps! i recalled my interview when I was moving to Poland:)

[apobletos]

Before watching the video, I was totally confused when I saw "PANDAS Injection" in the section title. Thought I was missing out on something lol. Anyways, great content! Looking forward for more content like this.

[laiquendi]

Would be great to see more videos like that 🤩

[DiegoJFCampos]

5y experience I could pass these interview without experience hehe Palindrome? My dream, the code challenge that they use to give me are insane

[romankryvolapov]

We can call the system gc method to recommend cleaning the garbage

[dod-do-or-dont]

40:02 deployment and services.

Dynamic replication etc.

[serhiivoronkov]

not very good solutions, if we have long string we need to convert and reverse and also using stringbuilder(additional wrapper) causes performance. He probably shoud learn more about solutions with this task.

[javaprivateexception]

He is good backend developer. Hired :D

[ilariacorda]

Not sure this qualifies as a Senior dev interview, more towards Mid and potentially less than 5 years

[gawadinc]

So I don’t understand Rodion was hired ?
