Concurrency bugs are some of the most expensive defects in production, so senior interviews spend real time here. You will be asked to explain what the compiler generates for async methods, why sync-over-async deadlocks happen, and how to pick the right synchronization primitive.
You will also be asked to design producer-consumer pipelines with backpressure and to shut services down gracefully.
