Round 1:

Introduction:

The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and describe my current work.
I was asked why I want to switch from my current job.

Technical Question:

The problem asked was Jump Game II.

My Approach:

I initially proposed a brute force approach. While it passed some test cases, it likely would have resulted in Time Limit Exceeded (TLE) for larger inputs.
The problem should ideally be solved using either a dynamic programming or greedy approach.
I attempted a dynamic programming solution. The interviewer understood my approach, but the test cases were failing.

Time Complexity Discussion:

I was asked to explain the time complexity of both my brute force and dynamic programming approaches.

Discussion about My Work:

The interviewer then asked about the major milestones in my current role.
I was specifically asked to describe one feature I have implemented.
