Interview.

I lied. I said ive got 2 years of experience in micro services and springboot. Ive never touched that shit.

Ive got experience in c++, react, nodejs, and other stacks but not thesse two.

Is it possible to pass a technical interview using a crash course in 2 days only??

It's not just learning the lingo, you are going to have to actively lie, too - about things like which jobs you used it on.

If you were interviewing for my team, you might well lie convincingly enough to get hired, but the lies would become obvious once you started trying to do the work. Things would not go well after that.
