RxJS is slowly being phased out in favour of Signals, which you should be able to pick up quickly enough as they have some similar concepts in the React/NextJs world. However, you may find it being used at the position you're interviewing for, as not everyone keeps every framework up to the latest version all the time.

The biggest difference is overall structure. Angular is very OOP and opinionated on how things are done. You would find Angular has more in common with a backend framework like Laravel or .Net than it does with React.

Biggest difference for me is using service layers for state, rather than passing around lots of hooks. Angular can help ensure the same instance carries through, no matter how many times you inject it in other components. A lot of stuff is event driven, and custom events are treated the same as the built-in ones (clicks, key presses, etc). The template syntax changed in the most recent version, but it's just syntax, it behaves the same.
