    What should I expect in a 15-minute technical interview at Nethermind for a blockchain internship? I just got an interview call from Nethermind, my dream company, and I feel both excited and nervous. I am a computer science student and have built a few smart contracts, but this is my first Ethereum-focused technical interview.

    For those who have interviewed with Nethermind or for similar blockchain roles, does the technical round focus on live coding, blockchain basics like consensus and forks, or deep EVM and Solidity topics? Should I review algorithms, data structures, or specific Ethereum concepts?

    Any advice on what to study, how to answer questions, or common mistakes to avoid would help. I appreciate any tips or personal experiences you can share.

    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.
