Round 2, 3, 4 - onsite
The recruiter mentioned that each round was elimination-based.

Round 2 - Coding
This was a scenario-based problem. Given a couple of JSON arrays, I had to compare them and derive insights from the data. There were follow-up questions focused heavily on the choice of data structures and an in-depth discussion around trade-offs and optimizations.

Round 3 - System Design
I was asked to design and implement a BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) system.
The discussion covered core components, flows, and design considerations.

Round 4 - Hiring Manager
This round focused on my current project, along with a few behavioral and situational questions.

Result: After a couple of days, I received a rejection email. Unfortunately, there was no detailed feedback provided.
Keep Striving. Cheers.
