Current Status: SDE-3 in Tier-2 PBC
Position: SDE-2 in Flipkart
Location: Banglore
Date: August 2021
I recently got rejected in SDE-2 Interview via Flipkart drive happened in Aug 2021.
No of Rounds: 3 (If everything had went well it would be 4)
First Round: Machine Coding Round
Desiging Food Ordering Low level Designed
Second Round: PS & DSA
The interviwer asked 3 DS question
first one is on tree -> Sum of root to leaf Integers -> Explained my approach with multiple test cases in 5 min (Asked not to write Psudo code but explain logic)
second -> Knapsack varient problem -> Explained my approach and coded solution from brute force to optimal.
Thrid -> Given a string s and list of strings and return true or false depending upon whether I can make string s using list of strings -> Question seemed like backtracking type of question, I have Explained and coded brute force and no time left to optimize it.
Third round: Design Round -> Similar to SplitWise application
No code is expected but I tried to give psudo code which consumed more time than i thought.
Able to cover only some requirements and failed to manage time in a better way.
Life always plans something and we expect something.
Last year I was not not able to solve basic DSA problems and failed to get clear even online tests, from then I prepared and worked hard to master DSA but now with 3 years of experience, most of the companies are expecting LLD and HLD.
I have failed around maybe more than 6 interviews this year, everytime I fail I just think about not to giving interview but I don't want to lose.
Remember :
There isn’t anyone who failed by trying hard everytime you fail.
So, Don't quit!!
