Phone Screen

The question is this one (your standard web crawler).

Fairly standard with a BFS solution, but the follow up was multithreading which required the use of thread pool executors and asyncio. I answered all the questions properly, passed all test cases - but I think the interviewer was somewhat biased towards me.

The result was a rejection shortly after in a few days even though I was sure I could've moved to the onsite.
