First round was successful, mostly technical questions.
Recruiter was very optimistic, said that I was exceptionally good.
Then I made the mistake that I took the next round easy. It was not.
Well, it would not be that hard either, had I known the coding example beforehand. :D
In about 30 mins I had to change existing code to run as parallel as it can. I had to config thread numbers, and then merge results of spawned calc threads. I didn't manage to get it right, becuase I was tired, stressed, and am not used to this kind of parallel coding.
I was instructed to use Google freely but not AI. Well, Google already gives you AI summary first, so not sure where's the difference nowadays.
They said I was a complete disappointment, and they need much higher competences for this job.
On the next day, I spent an hour implementing the task in 3-4 different ways using java.concurrent classes for myself. It was fun, and I did learn from it. I don't think I was a bad candidate, I just need calm focus time to solve problems.
If they can't provide it, then maybe I am better off without the job.
(Or I need to practice this kind of interview tasks more..)

Entrevista
Interview process was smooth however HR took some time to revert back and sharing offer letter.
Practical questions were there instead of theoritical ones, I really enjoyed solving the problem given.
One question where output was wrong and we need to correct the output plus we need to provide details the problems in the code.
