Technical Interview 1 :

The interview asked me to give just a brief intro and then directly jumped to a question Search in a row wise and column wise sorted matrix. I solved this question and gave her a dry run after that she asked the time complexity and we have proper discussion on calculating time complexity.After that she asked a second question Two nodes of a BST are swapped, correct the BST which is a hard type in GFG. I gave it brute force approach and able to solve in a better manner. She asked me to give in optimised one but after solving several times, I was make able to give it in efficient manner.. Only two DSA questions were asked in this round. Although in the intial stage she wanted to ask 3 questions but due to time constrain she asked only two..

Design Round : The interview directly jumped to a design interview question Rate Limiter System. Although it was my first design round interview, I have no idea how to approach these questions.I thought it will be TI-2 .i have not prepare anything regarding Design Interview. Interviewer was very helpful, after giving several hints he asked me to just code some modules.I have coded that but was not able to give proper HLD that he was expected. It was about 1hr but only lasted for 35 mins. From this I judged that I am not going to clear this. If you are preparing for Groww, Upstox then definitely they asked to have a good design skills
round for SDE1 role also..

Verdict : Rejected after Design Round

Tips: Have good problem solving skills in DSA especially in Trees & Graphs, they will definitely asked one question from this, Apart from that try to deliver your solution & approach in a better way so that interview can easily understand.
