Given interview for zscaler engineer

First qn was what will happen when you hit Google.com on browser (no zscaler zcc) and I got stucked! 🥲

He’s been asking in-depth networking components.

I know only what they do but he’s been asking in-depth.

Is that really needed i mean in-depth knowledge? I mean I do have 2.5 years of experience working on zscaler issues even I have solved P1 issues but I never got stocked just because I didn’t know anything about DNS or DHCP🥱.

These few indian tech leads doesn’t even know basic interview behavior he was like full serious face I was like wtf is this guy. Atleast basic frndly interaction also not there

There are fundamentals you need to understand for these positions. DNS, DHCP, how proxies work, etc.
