Muhammad Hasan received a job offer from Money Forward after winning a competitive programming competition held on the CoderByte platform.
Following the competition, he was contacted by Money Forward via WhatsApp and email. He had an interview with a representative from the Japanese company. The interview was conducted in English and primarily involved personal questions.
A notable question asked by the candidate during the interview was, "why bother trying to get engineers from Indonesia, when you already have excellent people there in Japan". The response indicated that Money Forward seeks talented individuals globally.
The experience highlights that for candidates identified through competitive programming, the interview process might focus more on personal aspects and cultural fit rather than extensive technical grilling.
