Bloomberg Phone Interview | New Grad | Rejected

I had a phone interview with a bloomberg recruiter for a new grad position last week.

  • Tell me about yourself
  • Talk about project

Coding portion, was given a question, an old bloomberg question from 2019 (link below).
https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-question/682583/Bloomberg-or-Phone-or-Order-list-in-welsh-alphabetical-order

I could not solve it as i had no prior encounters with such questions also i was only able to write some psuedocode to solve it.

What I learnt:-

  • You cannot master all the questions, there will always be that one question that will give you headache. Sometimes you just have to wave the white flag.
  • I should have looked into questions from before 2020 (I only looked in to questions from 2020 to 2021).

Resources I used:-

I hope this post helps anyone having an interview soon.

Goodluck guys.

UPDATE!
Here is a link to the github repo where I stored the solutions to all the questions I practised for this interview:
