Conclusion:
The interview process was smooth, and the questions were aligned with the role’s requirements. I felt confident in my technical knowledge, but practicing more coding problems beforehand would have been beneficial. My advice to future candidates is to focus on hands-on coding practice, especially Triggers and LWC, and to be clear about Salesforce concepts.
