How to prepare

  • Consistence practice of DSA is necessary as it helps you to identify patterns and map it to the algos you know
  • Need to have openness to new methods and new approaches only then can you not struck with the rigid framework of algos you have
  • Think it out loud and keeping your interviewer engaged is really crucial.
  • Have a short memo notes prepared for different algos you learn, I had my notes that i have been preparing for last 8 months regarding DSA and these memo notes has helped me to prepare for the interview in short time
  • Make sure you have basic idea over all the topics so that when you see a problem you get to using which data structure can the problem be solved.

Round by round

    Technical Round60 min

    It started with quick introductions and then jumped into DSA questions, I was asked 2 questions (Leetcode Medium). The interviewer was friendly, we had follow up questions for both the problems and also discussed about time and space complexity. For me I had already solved problems similar to the questions asked so it was easy to formulate the base line and build up it.
