New to Leetcode and DSA
YOE: 3.1 years
Applied through Linkedin. Got a call from recruiter few hours later. Had a discussion about current projets, interview process, about slice, current and expectation.
Interview process as described by the Interviewer:
- Round 1: DS/Algo
- Round 2: System Design in LLD (Maybe HLD as well as it depends on the interviewer)
- Round 3: Technical Discussion and if time permits problem solving
[Round 1]
Interview was on hackerrank codepair with video call,
- Started with introduction about myself and projects usually worked on. Grilled on the specifics of the projects about why you took this decision and what not.
- Had a chat about Kafka (because it's one of the decision made in my current org) and it's specifics during the discussion as in how it works, the internals, components etc.
- Came to problem solving:
- Asked a DP Hard problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water/
Trying to figure out a brute force approach (as DP is my weakpoint as of now) but couldn't come up with a full fledged solution.
Even a brute force full fledged solution would have also worked.
Verdict: Didn't received any call so rejected.
