Update - got the job offer!

From application to job offer = 7 weeks and 3 rounds of interviews. I had good feelings in each round, but still came to this board with uncertainties because you just never know! It is my dream job and it is 100% remote.

My advice to anyone looking is to give it your all if it seems like a good fit. Research. Be prepared. ChatGBT really helped me along with this forum, to be prepared for interview questions. Know the company as best you can inside and out and more importantly, know what you want, and sell yourself. You deserve a space to share your talents and shine.

I was fortunate and only out of work for 2 and a half months total by the time this job starts, but hang in there and keep the faith!
