Jio Cinema : Rejected for SDE-2
Hi All, I gave my first round of interviews. Answered all the questions and also completed the app which was half built... Was asked to show data in the recycler view. The only no was from me for a question that I know Jetpack compose or not. So has Jetpack Compose become a mandatory skill nowadays ? Seeking for feedback and open for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

If I was taking an interview I will not consider it a must but Compose first became stable in mid 2021, it's been almost 2.5 years of something that changes Android dev significantly and if I hear a dev say they don't know it I'll consider them as someone who does not spend time learning and not interested in software dev in general.
But that is just me.

That's ok. I don't think the requirement is yet of production but of knowledge and interest.

How do you think they continue to keep their products crappy? By rejecting worthy candidates. Chin up, bro.
Hey, how did you applied for the same, via their career page or referal or anything else?

Well the direct of mobile (@championswimmer) himself doesn't like compose list very much, but still it's like a mandate for a person to know to work there, it means it's a necessary evil.
The interviewer was himself working with Compose from last three years so he was unable to frame questions properly related to XML.
For instance, he asked which is a child of constraint layout so I said we can create a child of constraint layout by extending it, in Android motion layout is a layout that is child of constraint layout... Then I tried to confirm that from him ... He replied : maybe.... Now after a few minutes he said yes you were right The motion layout is a child of Constraint Layout...( Probably after Googling)
Although the app is 100% Compose, we do have people joined without Compose knowledge and figured it out here.
bro what are the questions ? they asked, i am also applying for the same role

Interviews are random. Law of large numbers works here too....
Keep trying until you find a good enough match.

How many years of experience do you have? Asking this just to know do they really want someone with 2+ year mandatory professional experience
1.5 years , if internship is not considered .
I got PPO from the company and joined the same and worked on full time so if we consider internship+fulltime then it's 2.3 around
