Review of the technical interview: The technical interview was an engaging experience, with a set of challenging questions that needed to be tackled within the span of an hour. I must admit, the questions posed were quite formidable and pushed me out of my comfort zone. Despite their difficulty, I viewed this as a valuable opportunity to stretch my problem-solving skills and expand my technical knowledge. It was an excellent test of my abilities, and while I may not have aced every question, I feel that I learned a lot from the experience.

After applying for the Canva Graduate Software Engineering (Aus and New Zealand) position, I got an offer for a coding challenge after the application deadline day. 120 mins will be given to crack the challenge, there are two options for the challenge - one for the frontend (in JavaScript) and the other for the backend (in Java). I choose to do the backend due to my greater expertise in that area and with Java. Almost a week's time is given to prepare for the challenge and I'm currently working on it.
