My Virtual interview with NxtWave Placement

How did the virtual interview go?

For the role of technical mentor for the coursework for the Nxtwave intensive programme.

I received a call from the coach of my NxtWave Intensive 3.0 course on 27th August 2025. I got informed that I will undergo an interview with the placement team tomorrow and confirmed my timing. I said that I will be available around 16:00 - 18:30 on 29th August 2025.

My interview was conducted by a male member of the placement team.

In which programming language do I get questions?

The placement team members asked two questions in Python and a few in SQL.

In Python, I got questions related to

1. Find the index of two numbers to the target sum
2. Maximum Profit of the stock during the day

In SQL, I got questions related to the database using joins and queries.

1. Find the city from the location table where the employee ID is 120.
2. Find all details of employees where the department is IT and finance from the employee table.
3. Show employees who work on projects outside their department.

My approach to the Maximum profit you can achieve from the transaction.

My approach to finding the index of two numbers to the target sum.

The different queries that were asked by the mentor in SQL are given in a single code.

After which I asked about the feedback of the mentor, for which he replied You will be informed by the coach.

At which I came to know that I had undergone an interview for a "Teaching post" at the NxtWave and was asked to join from September.

The feedback was that I perform well with some training, he can speak more confidently and loudly and guide the students.

I replied to the coach that I am looking for a software development role instead of teaching.

Final Outcome

I hope you find some useful information. The code provided may not work perfectly with the Python ones, but the approach I explained, which got placed in the mentor role, but I was looking for a development role.
