[QUOTE="thelovelygiraffe, post: 102353, member: 16091"] I got a VS offer and I promised myself that if I got it, I would post my interview experience here because of how insightful this thread was for me and I would like to return the favour to future applicants! 🥰 My interview was EXACTLY like [USER=9898]@cortana116[/USER] described theirs.
