Coding interview1: Solved both problems with perfect dry runs in 30 minutes. Answered follow-ups. Interviewer were super happy.
Coding Inteview2: Seems like inteviwer were not prepared. He didn't know the BFS solution of a very popular leetcode problem. However, I have been able to solve both problems with perfect dry run. Interviewer agreed with me. Answered follow-ups.

Behaviour: Answered all questions with follow-ups. It was perfect interview. Manager seems happy.

System Design: Not so good but not so bad. Cannot cover all the things due to the time constraint but answered all the questions inteviewer asked and he was agreed with answers.

Result: Rejection after 9 days. I am in trauma now.

I shall share the full details soon. Please let me get well soon from the trauma.

Thank you.

Update from the Recruiter:

Coding interview1: Excellent
Coding Inteview2: Average (Although I did excellent)
Behavioural: Excellent
System Design: Average (I agree)

3 excellent could have made job offer but I had 2 due to the unprepared second interviewer. Heart Break! :'(
