I was given about a month to prepare for technical phone screen.

Technical phone screen.

The interviewer was running late on time, and my interview started 20 minutes late. First he gave me a warm up question, and I made some mistakes on incrementing counter. About 10-15 minutes later, we proceeded to another very simple question. I gave him two approaches, and discussed their pros and cons. Then we coded one of them. Then he asked me a simple algorithmic concept in detail. After doing that, we moved to a backtracking question, which I started coding, but could not complete, as he said we are out of time. Just asked me complexity of the question.

I though that I messed up beause of the very simple warmup question, and not being able to code the last. Surprisingly I got a mail saying feedback was positive.

Preparation: Phone Screens, I believe are pretty easy. They overlook a lot of points. Just making sure that you are able to come up with something resembling a good solution. I did abut 60 LeetCode questions for phone screen, and a few questions from some other sites.
