Interview
Here’s an expanded version of each stage with more detail:
**Initial Screening from HR**
This is the first stage where the HR team reviews your resume, checks your background, and evaluates your overall fit for the role. They may also ask basic questions about your experience, availability, salary expectations, and communication skills to decide if you should move forward.
**Take-home Test**
In this stage, you are given a practical assignment or coding challenge to complete on your own time. It is designed to assess your problem-solving skills, technical knowledge, code quality, and ability to follow requirements. You are expected to submit your solution within a given deadline.
**Technical Interview with CTO and Tech Lead**
This round involves a deep technical discussion with senior engineering leaders. They evaluate your understanding of system design, coding skills, architecture decisions, and real-world problem-solving ability. You may also be asked to explain past projects and how you approach building scalable systems.
**Behavioural Round with CEO**
This interview focuses on your mindset, communication style, and cultural fit within the company. The CEO or leadership team may ask about your work ethic, decision-making, handling challenges, and long-term goals to understand how well you align with the company’s vision and values.
**Offer**
If you successfully pass all previous stages, the company extends a formal job offer. This includes details such as role, salary, benefits, start date, and other employment terms. At this stage, you may also discuss and negotiate specific conditions before final acceptance.

Interview
I didn't get the interview that's the shocking part that they rejected my application straight away eventhough I have over 3 decades of experience. the only thing I could think of is my age that they are not please about
As a designer in my early 50s with over three decades of experience in graphic and experience design, I was shocked to receive an immediate rejection for a role I applied for, especially given my extensive background. Instead of being invited for an interview, I was told that they had received "much stronger applications." Seeking clarity, I reached out for feedback but was met with a passive-aggressive response from the founder, who insisted their message was clear. The application process raised further concerns, as many questions focused on whether candidates were "fun" rather than assessing professional qualifications. Despite being an introvert, I pride myself on being pleasant to work with. After reviewing their social media, it became evident that the team was predominantly young, leading me to suspect that my age may have played a role in their decision.
