State Street Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Interview Process: Two-Stage Technical EvaluationI interviewed for a contract role at State Street through a vendor. The process consisted of two rounds: - Round 1 (Vendor Screening): Focused on core Java, Spring Boot, and SQL. I was asked to write a RESTful API using Spring Boot, implement the equals and hashCode logic for a POJO, and write one SQL query. - Round 2 (State Street Panel): This round was with two State Street interviewers. They asked general Spring Boot questions, followed by some deep-dive questions on Kafka. At the end, they asked me to write two coding programs: Parenthesis Matching (using a stack) and the Two Sum problem.
