Gone through virtual onsite recently and want to ask your opinion on how I did.
I will honor the NDA so I won't disclose the actual questions.
YOE: 2 Years - Student position while in university in corporate - Web developement

Behavioral:
Gone through typical questions but for a couple of questions
I mistakenly answered a different question i thought the interviewer
asked me, so I asked if I can think for a moment and answer the actual question
that he asked, went fine, interviewer wasn't so enthusiastic although I think
I answered the questions in a good manner.

Coding - 2 of those some similiar to blind 75 with variation 2 wasn't in blind 75 but same ideas.

Coding 1:
First question which I knew the answer to because I did something
similiar in a course in university, started to answer in one way and proposed another way
first was iterative, second was recursive, he insisted I talk more about the recursive
because he didn't understand my approach. I tried to explain it but he wasn't
satisified so i solved it iterativly and optimally. solved in 20 min. and ran tests and talked
about complexity

Second question - was given a "warmup" and then came the followup question which involved
binary search but i missed the point on how to incorporate it in the algorithm although
I stated that im thinking about binary search, got tangled and stuck and was given a lot
of hints and didn't have time to code it - talked about the algorithm and time complexity
"solved it" optimally. no time for questions for the interviewer

Coding 2:
absolutly fantastic
Was asked 2 questions that were very similar to ones in the blind 75 and managed
to solve it optimally and run tests and all that jazz, finished with 8 min on the clock
to ask the interviewer questions.
talked about the algorithm and while coding - talked about what i'm doing.

Do you think I have a chance or will the first coding bite me?
Will my 2 years of experience help me?

Update:
Rejected :[
