International Student doing my masters in CS
No Assessment direct interview call.
1st Round:
Introduction and resume
2 LC questions
Group Anagrams asked specifically to do in c++.
Variation of group anagrams question he told me to do in any language. so i used python.
Got good feedback moved to next round
2nd Round:
Interviewer is not so friendly, asked one behavorial question and asked whether i know CUDA or not.
Directly asked LC HARD QUESTION after 10min of discussion.
https://leetcode.com/problems/serialize-and-deserialize-n-ary-tree/
Actually I'm a Python user I asked to do in python but I was instructed to code it in C++.
Implemented everything from scratch took 50min but completed at last minute. I never thought in my life i would do it but passed all test cases she said "RIGHT IN TIME GOOD".
Got good feedback and i was in waitlisted/holded for a month and didn't told about the result. Then I showed my other competiting offer as i have deadline and then got REJECT.
Thought I would get the offer after solving the above hard question as it is for the internship.
Luckily I got offer from Qualcomm :).
Dont give up international students we got this :).
Happy leetcodingggggg.
