45 min Interview over the phone. 5 minutes of introduction. 35 minutes of coding. 7-8 mins of questions\n\n**Question 1:**\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/valid-palindrome-ii/\nI was able to solve this within 10 minutes. \n\n**Question 2:**\nhttps://leetcode.com/problems/custom-sort-string/\nThis one took me a while. I first gave a brute force solution(n^2) then I had time so he asked me to improve it. I gave (n+m) solution later. It took me 20-25 mins in total to come up with both of these solutions. \n\nDo you guys think I made it to the onsite based on this? I was able to provide correct time complexities each time he asked me. The only issue I can think of is it took me a while to come up with the (n+m) solution, but finished both questions with 5 minutes to spare. We talked and discussed for 7-8 minutes in the end.
