Have my first interview for Microsoft software engineer new grad position this week. Any advice or tips? Will I be asked any technical questions the first interview? Or is it just behavioral? Any advice on how to prepare for the interview would be great!

Echoing the others, but it's also worth checking YT, glassdoor etc to get a sense of the kinds of questions they might ask

They didn't ask a lot of technical questions in the past but so many things have changed in the past couple of years that I can't even make any promises on that anymore. Usually, it's primarily behavioral.

Things shouldn’t get too technical in the first round of the interview.

I don’t work as SE so don’t have much insights to offer. Just want to say Good Luck! 🍀 Hope you can join us

Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!
