Giving back to the Community:

I had the interview today, total time of the interview was 1hr. The interviewer was a really nice person.

The following was agenda

  1. ~25 mins Intro & Behavioral. I think my answers were long as I have been working on very impactful things and interviewer was interested. I could have saved 3 - 4 mins.
  2. 30 mins: Solve 2 questions:15 mins per question.
  3. ~8 mins: My chance to ask questions to the interviewer

Q1: https://leetcode.com/problems/random-pick-with-weight/ => variation, city & population combo was given.
Q2: https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-path-in-binary-matrix/description/ => Variation => asked the Path instead of distance.

One thing i learnt out of it is: Time management is really important.

I am not moving to next round. Looks like bar seems to be very high right now :(. I will keep trying for other companies in the meantime.

Thanks!
