Hey, thanks for taking the time to share your experience — and I’m genuinely sorry to hear it didn’t go the way you hoped. Just to clarify on the technical side: when we ask database questions, it's not to catch anyone off guard. We’re really just trying to understand how you think about structuring data — things like handling relationships, normalization, and mapping real requirements to a solid schema. It helps us see how comfortable you are with how DB engines work in real-world scenarios. Not sure if you interviewed with me directly, but in general, we try to keep our questions clear, relevant, and focused on practical skills that matter in our day-to-day work. Still, I appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with your next opportunity.
