Real .NET Interview Questions (2024/2025)

From September to November 2024 I had a “pleasure” of looking for a new programming job as a senior full stack .NET developer. I was dedicated full time to this process as I have still been on a sabbatical break. It took me a bit more than 2 months, during which I submitted around 150 well-crafted applications, took part in 25 full technical recruitment processes and was asked hundreds of .NET interview questions.

In this article, I’m sharing a compiled list of the most popular .NET interview questions I was asked during all those interviews. They represent real questions asked on job interviews for a software developer with almost 10 years of experience. Hope you enjoy it 🙂

If you’re curious about how I’m planning to use these two months without paid work to improve my programming skills (and why I can’t seem to get my productivity back), read on 🙂

What is a JavaScript bundler?

If you asked me 5 years ago what a JavaScript bundler is, I’d probably tell you it’s something people fight with for hours, just to get a simple web app set up 🤪 While this might have been closer to the truth in 2018, a lot has changed in JavaScript ecosystem until today.
