TLDR; I've 1 YOE, will they ask LLD or just behavioral and Leetcode?
I'm SDE with 1 YOE
I applied to SE2 role at Azure C+AI
I have 5th round next week with "Principal Engineer" and "Principal Engineer Manager"
The role is Software Engineer 2, but I have just 1 year of experience

It would have some basic technical/coding questions and then questions around projects you’ve done at work.
Your levelling and final hire/no-hire decisions are made in this round. If you have just 1 yoe, you should expect a down-level here.
When you try again with 2+ yoe you’ll be much better prepared.
If you felt that there was some truth in what he said, i.e there are no good opportunities to work at high-scale tech in your company then you should try to switch to something that does asap (even as an SDE1).
Keep on your target list both well-established companies and late stage Indian startup’s. Some of them have excellent opportunities.
Good luck with your prep.
Thanks for the advice :")
So far the rounds were just LC problems, at the end of each round, interviewer would upload screenshots/copy paste the code as feedback into their system.
I'm getting a feeling the role requires more seniority than what I have, in which case do they downlevel or reject?
