The interview started with me diving into user requirements. I outlined a dashboard with key metrics like user engagement, content performance, and follower growth.

The interviewer seemed intrigued by the scope. However, when I went deeper into data sources and the architecture, I recognized I made some assumptions without clarifying with them first.

The interviewer pivoted and asked about real-time analytics. I hesitated there, unsure of how to balance data processing speed and storage.

That moment seemed to affect their perception of my problem-solving skills. By the end, I presented a rough prototype sketch, which they appreciated for its clarity.

The back-and-forth felt constructive, though I left feeling I could have navigated the technical details better.
