I had recently appeared for interviews with Microsoft and felt like sharing my interview experience

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/letter-combinations-of-a-phone-number/description/

Round 2 : LLD

Design a job posting service which can include any type of job with the following features:

1. Recruiter can post job openings.
2. Candidates can apply for the job postings.
3. There should be a candidate profile which can include skills, YOE, etc.
4. The recruiter must be able to see the top candidates for any job posting
5. The candidate can see the top jobs for which he is eligible.

The code must be executable. He was very much interested in the matching logic for the recruiters and the candidates.

Round 3 : HLD

Design a Board Game for Ludo
This was supposed to be an HLD round, but the interviewer was interested in the LLD approach and asked me to code it.

Verdict : Rejected
