How to Prepare
This interview leans heavily towards Apex and triggers, then Flows and general experience. Practise explaining batch Apex methods and governor limits in your own words, and review the older automation tools, because interviewers still ask about Workflow Rules. Use Git and sandbox examples from your own project when you answer the experience questions.
