    Super pumped about my upcoming 15-minute tech interview with Nethermind for an internship role. Their Ethereum/blockchain work has always blown my mind, and I’d love to nail this!

    Quick background: I’m a CS student who’s built a couple of smart contracts, but this is my first Ethereum-focused technical interview. Kinda nervous about what to expect.

    For those who’ve interviewed with Nethermind (or similar roles):

    • What’s the vibe? Does it lean into live coding, blockchain basics (like consensus, forks), or deep EVM nitty-gritty?

    • Any specific topics I should grind? Algorithms, data structures, or maybe quirks in Solidity?

    First-timer here, so even random tips—like how to structure answers or common pitfalls—would be golden. Thanks in advance!

    The interview with John focused on my experience and skills in Web3. Questions started with blockchain basics, such as nodes, blocks, and transactions, where I explained their core functions clearly.

    DeFi discussions covered its structure and working principles. I explained Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and the constant product formula that ensures liquidity in decentralized exchanges, using examples of successful projects.

    On zk-SNARKs and rollups, I outlined the cryptographic principles behind zk-SNARKs and compared optimistic rollups with zk-rollups, focusing on their scalability and efficiency.

    The conversation included trending topics like DAOs, NFTs, MEV, and flash loans. Sharing insights into these areas, I connected their real-world applications and challenges.

    Questions about my learning journey and goals gave me the opportunity to discuss my interest in exploring blockchain innovations and my plans to expand my expertise in the Web3 space.

    The interview lasted about 40 minutes. Despite not feeling well, I confidently addressed most questions and provided thoughtful responses, even for challenging ones.

    Excited to share that this effort resulted in an internship offer, marking an important step in my Web3 journey!

    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
