Interview 1: LC hard matrix backtracking (banged it out and did several follow ups, communicated clearly)
Interview 2: LC medium string ( got decent solution out, they mentioned a bug, I fixed it and went through examples and explained how I could speed up with a trie, then ended interview 10 mins early)
Interview 3 : LC medium matrix manipulation( got decent solution then optimized)
LC medium graph traversal (very similar to cloning graph) ( tricky situation here because I think there was miscommunication about the representation of graph; they expected adjacency list, I did grid form but still functionally solved the problem; I'm guessing this round was ok)
Interview 4: LC medium graph (Started with brute force, got a hint and then made optimized version and preemptively answered the follow up so we went to the next question)
LC hard matrix backtracking(came up with memo solution but didn't have time to fully code it; made dfs helper and memoitized it but didn't chance to call the function while looping through matrix but explained the logic; I'm guessing this round was also ok)
Behavior : Hard to gauge but I'm a laid back rational person and tried to answer questions in a way that shows empathy towards people in the scenarios and yields most benefit to the company.
I'm assuming it's like I had 2 good coding rounds and two OK coding rounds which is like 3 good rounds and bombing one.
Thoughts?
