-> Final vs finally, thread vs process, Os concepts like pagination and segmentation, about previous projects and what extra could I have changed in that.

DSA ROUND 1

DSA ROUND 2
-> https://leetcode.com/problems/find-leaves-of-binary-tree/?envType=company&envId=linkedin&favoriteSlug=linkedin-thirty-days (make it Nernary tree) Follow up was what if it is a directed graph( topological sort)
-> https://leetcode.com/problems/kth-smallest-product-of-two-sorted-arrays/description/?envType=company&envId=linkedin&favoriteSlug=linkedin-all Gave brute force approach only. As time was over. Interviewer said I was on the right track.

HLD Round
-> Design a metrics monitoring system. This round personally went very well. I was able to cover all functional and non functional requirements as well as was able to reply to all the cross questions posted by the interviewer. The interviewer was also from the Systems and Infra team so she directed questions related to that. How can we manage difference metrics, how will the metrics look like, how will the monitoring happen.

Managerial Round:
-> Asked questions on previous project. Drew the HLD and explained the part which I played and every tiny detail of the library and backend service which I had implemented. Also explained the TPS of our services and one major issue I faced during implementation and how I overcame that. Then one behaviour questions and tech stacks I have worked on. Manager then shared the link which showcased different teams and which teams she managed.

Waiting for the results. Hopefully I get it.
