Is it too difficult to get an offer from Bloomberg? because I recently interviewed (onsite) and got rejected. I was able to solve all problems though. very disappointed!

sort tree by its childrens and return root (solved in N*mlg(m) here N=total no of nodes and m is avg no of children)Q 2
given an array sorted by its absolute values, return sorted array by it actually values (less than NlgN)
0,-1, 2, -4,5, 6, -10, -13, -22
to
-22, -13, -10, -4, -1,0, 2, 5, 6
Solved in O(N) N = length of given array
Round 2
Given 2d matrix, find maximum path sum in given N steps only
2, 3, 4, 6
1, 2, 3 ,5
3, 4, x ,5
0, 1, 2, 3
N = 2
starting cordinate = (2,2)
N = 2
Output: 10 (5->5)
first solved using BFS with 4^(N) complexity then did memoization to solve in 4*N (not sure about this)
