Round 1 – DSA

Total time: 1h

• DSA 1: Agressive Cows
  - Started with brute force.
  - Optimised using Binary on range.
• DSA 2: Sliding Window
  - Was LC med, standard solution using 2 pointer sliding window and hashmap.
  - I was not able to come up with the standard approach instead solved using 2 pointers and range query.
  - Came up with some edge cases by myself and how to handle them.
  - Became really really complex but solved in the same time complexity.

Interviewer was really impressed with the approach and me finding and handling the edge cases without hints.

Total time: 1h15m

• Initial Discussion (~10m) – Previous Work
  - Interviewer had worked on something similar.
  - Talked about scaling challenges and tradeoffs with other competitive algorithms.
  - Felt more like a peer discussion than Q&A.

• LLD: Membership System
  - Class design
  - DB schema design
  - Entity relationships
  - Indexing considerations
  - Membership tiers
  - Subscription lifecycle
  - Renewals / upgrades
  - Handling expiry scenarios

Got a positive feedback from HR and was told, I'll be moving forward to managerial round but 2 days later got news that position was put to freeze.
Overall experience was really great.
