Example: “Microservices architecture is a way to break down large applications into smaller pieces or microservices. These individual components are then able to communicate with each other through APIs. I have used microservices architecture in my previous roles as a developer because it allows for more efficient scaling when needed. For example, if one service becomes too slow, we can scale back on its use while still using the others.”
Example: “In my last job, I was responsible for processing payments and refunds for customers who purchased products online. This required me to process payments quickly so that the company could receive funds within 24 hours of receiving them. If I did not meet this deadline, it could negatively impact the company’s cash flow. To ensure I met these deadlines, I developed a system where I processed payments twice daily.”
Code reviews are a common part of the software development process. They allow developers to share their code with others and receive feedback on how they can improve it. This question allows you to show your knowledge of coding processes and demonstrate that you’re willing to help others learn more about coding.
When you’re interviewing for a job at Affirm, you can expect to be asked questions about your experience with financial technology and your ability to provide excellent customer service. You may also be asked about your experience working in a fast-paced environment and your ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
Example: “I have experience working with multiple stakeholders on front-end development for my past two roles. In both cases, I started by conducting research to understand what customers were looking for in our products. Then, I worked with developers to create wireframes of each page and developed prototypes based on those wireframes. After testing the prototypes with users, I finalized the front end of the product.”

My greatest weakness is I take criticism too personally. I have learned not to overreact and think about what was said. I have found that I have become a better employee when I learn from feedback.[/et_pb_accordion_item][/et_pb_accordion][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Smith suggests thanking interviewers for what they did cover and offering at least one, in-depth question. You can riff off something they already mentioned in the interview or bring up something you found in your research. “This shows a business maturity and a professional approach,” Smith adds.

This answer if often on the tip of everyone’s jittery tongue at the close of an interview, but it reveals no preparation or willingness to research the industry, according to Smith. As this is often the question that will conclude the interview, your response has the potential to leave a particularly lasting impression.
Once again, get specific. Your interviewer wants to know what motivates you. Try to think beyond a larger paycheck and detail some goals that make you excited about what you do.
“The worst cliché answer I receive is something along the lines of, ‘I’m not picky about my position; I just want a chance to work,’” says Shell Harris, President of Big Oak Studios Inc. He says this kind of answer typically comes from the mouths of college graduates having difficulty landing their first job.
