Hi all,
This post is about my second interview experience after being laid-off.
A bit of background about me
So, I had around 1 year and 4 months of experience before being laid-off from my company.
The situation was horiffic considering I lost my touch with DSA and given the market scenario at the time.
Took a day to cool down and then created accounts on every popular job board, took linkedIn premium trial for a month.
So coming back to my 2nd Interview experience
Company - Delhivery
Location - Gurugram, Haryana
Position: SDE 1 - Backend
EXP required: 1-3 YOE** 1st Round **
* I would say that this was my one of the best interview that I have given. I felt more at ease and the interviewer left no stone unturned in making me comfortable.
* DBMS and general programming concepts
* Left view of Binary tree
* Next greater element
I was confident about me and now only obstactle remaining was round 2
** 2nd Round **
* DBMS and prior experience related questions
* DSA question -> Re-arrange even and odd nodes in given linked list such that even order nodes comes first.
* DSA question -> Jump Game : Return if we can reach the end of the array, starting from index 0Self - Realisation after Round 2
* I came to the solution for first DSA quest, but he asked me to implement linked list and try the solution, where I got confused regarding implementation of Linked List Node using struct and Class,
I wasted so much time in implementing the Node struct, the time left was so much less for the second DSA ques.
* Also, felt uncomfortable, as interviewer was skipping places and was not finding a place to sit but instead saying Hi, Hello to his collegues.
* Also, maybe due to lack of sleep, my thinking process got jammed. I knew about the feedback, and was a setback too, I missed such a great opportunity
