Microsoft Software Engineer Screening Round Interview Experience

Hi

I completed a screening(first) round for IC2 Software Engineer at Microsoft with Hiring Manager. My primary experience is with enterprise software development with Java, but the role is more inclined with Low level programming.

So tasked with a couple of coding tasks in C. First one is simple, and I did it pretty quick. But the second one, When I'm implementing the brute force approach by having three loops. The interview mentioned It's better to do it in an optimized way by using a data structure.

I could not think of this because I was coding with C (When asked about it, I rated myself a 7 in C programming) in the interview when my primary language is Java. Also, my recruiter mentioned me that there would be no coding, it will focus primarily on my resume. So, I prepared only my experience and some concepts. This was also a reason for me not doing well.

The interview is scheduled for 45 mins, but it lasted for 30 mins. The interview mentioned the role would be comprising extremely low-level programming.

So, how long should I wait for the result. Do you think I would clear this round? I'm not sure about the standards of Microsoft. I have a feeling that I won't clear this tbh.

Thanks in advance.
