Hi everyone, I have a 30-minute phone screen scheduled for an SDE 2 role at Microsoft later this week, and I’m trying to understand what to expect. For those who’ve gone through it recently: • Is it mostly behavioral or technical? • Should I expect a live coding question in 30 minutes? • Is it more resume deep-dive or DSA focused? • How hard are the questions typically (LC medium / hard)? For context, I have \~3 years of experience (backend + cloud + distributed systems), so I’m guessing it might be more system/design oriented ,but I’m not sure. Any recent experiences or advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
