Giving back to the community (please don\'t ask about the questions, I am not allowed to share)\n\nTimeline:\n10/11 - recruiter reached out\n10/15 - submitted OA\n10/21 - moved onto next round\n11/4 - virtual interview, 45 mins\n11/5 - offer\n\nStats:\nI am pretty new to Leetcode, at the time of my interview I have done a bit over 100 questions. Around 30 of them were the Meta tagged questions in preparation for the interview. Still lots of room for improvement!\n\nOA:\nThis OA felt the most difficult out of all the OAs I have taken. It was 4 questions in 70 minutes, with the first 2 being easy or easy-mediums. I passed all the tests for 3 questions, and about half the tests for the remaining question.\n\nInterview:\nThis was a 45 minute technical interview. I got 2 questions - the first one was like a warm-up, I implemented fine but messed up on explaining the runtime and interviewer helped me realize I was wrong. After, I gave the corrected runtime. The second question I saw before (under Meta tagged questions, highly recommend!) but was rusty on the solution. I remembered the high level idea so I started from there, and wrote out the implementation. Unfortunately, I didn\'t have enough time to fully implement the solution but explained what I would do. I explained the runtime, then was asked to optimize the runtime to linear. I was a bit stuck, interviewer gave a hint and I got the idea so explained what the optimized code would look like. Had around 7 minutes at the end to ask questions.\n\nOverall, I felt like I did okay - solved the problem but interviewer gave hints throughout. Hope this post helps!\n\nUpdate: received offer a day later!! This honestly feels surreal... hard work pays off, I believe you can do it!!
