I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Luxoft
Interview
They interviewed me for the wrong position!
I applied for a job requiring C++ and strong OOP knowledge, and they asked me about microkernels and how compilers treat global static uninitialized variables in C, when low level knowledge was not required even as "nice to have", unlike other positions.
I answered partially to these questions and I recognize that some concepts must be known by a C++ developer as well.
Then I objected that it is not my field, but they didn't understand their mistake.
The interview was not difficult, if you have interest for such subjects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
int y[10000000000];
int main() {
int x[10000000000];
x [0] = 1;
y[0] = 1;
printf( "X: %d Y:%d\n", x[0], y[0]);
}
How are x and y treated in memory?
