Diploma : Master
Leetcode easy : 41
Leetcode medium : 51
Leetcode hard : 3
I took Leetcode premium and assements were very pleasent and usefull

Behavioural:

• Tell me about a time you didn't know what to do next in your project, and how did you handle that
• Tell me about a time you had deep dive into something new, and what was the outcome

Technical:

• What is java Spring, what are the benefits, why for each benefit
• How did you use it, why. What would you tell me to convince me that Java Spring is a good fit for this project

Problem-solving:

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/peak-index-in-a-mountain-array/ (didn't need to code it)
2. https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum/ (Something similar)
   1. Why this is not always o(n) time complexity (response: hashmap collision)
   2. How do you handle hashmap collision
   3. How would you code a hashmap
3. Kind of Fibonacci, asked to not code with memorisation
   1. Time complexity (2^n)
   2. Space complexity (2^n) because of the recursive stack
   3. Why use memorisation
   4. time & space complexity with memorisation

Had time to ask 2 questions

My feeling:

• Behavioral did ok
• Technical did ok but not enough
• Problem solving
  • Great
  • Ok but had a problem understanding the question, and didn't have answer for not o(n) and collision
  • Ok but had a problem with time complexity without memorization, I will know now

Guess it will be a failure but it was a great experience and important for the future.
