Linkedin - iOS Engineer I - Phone Screen- REJECTED

Warmup problem: Pow(x,n)
https://leetcode.com/problems/powx-n/description/?envType=company&envId=linkedin&favoriteSlug=linkedin-six-months
Second Problem: Variation to Nested List Weight Sum: the weights are in reverse order

https://leetcode.com/problems/nested-list-weight-sum/description/?envType=company&envId=linkedin&favoriteSlug=linkedin-six-months

Came up with a naive hashmap solution with sorting, interviewer gave a formula to solve it, didn't have enough time to implement but discussed a two pass to find unweighted sum and one pass to find weighted sum and one pass solution

iOS questions:

Strong and weak pointers, structs vs values, protocols, standard stuff.

Rating my performance, probably a 6/10.

UPDATE: Rejected within 24 hours. I suspect while I got a solution, it wasn't the ideal solution and the bar is very high right now.

Recruiter stated that I was borderline, but not strong enough to move on
