Recently interviewed for Microsoft Senior SDE but was downlevelled for SDE-II as I did bad on one interview
Phone Screen:

  1. Find the nth element from end of linked list.
    Gave & implemented the optimal solution. Wrote unit tests for several cases with Mock Data.
    Several follow ups on how can we optimize and other Dev ops questions with REST, Web API, HTTP Headers, Unit tests

Virtual Onsite:

Round-1:

System Desing of a Huge bank Statement for enterprise customers. Different tradeoffs if we have to doenload humongous data if for too many transactions.

Round-2:

Nmber of Distinct Islands, Combinations of Phone numbers

Round-3:
