Round by round

Coding + System Scenario90 min
This round covered some classic coding problems. First, I solved the Next Greater Element to the Right using a stack. Then, I worked on finding the minimum length subarray with sum k, discussing sliding window and prefix sum techniques. The interesting part was when the interviewer asked about an API facing high latency. I had to identify possible reasons like network delays, database bottlenecks, or inefficient code.It was a solid round testing both my coding skills and how I approach system problems.

HM60 min
This round involved an in-depth discussion of my current project and the challenges I encountered. The interviewer focused on evaluating my problem-solving skills by probing deeply into specific obstacles I faced and the approaches I used to overcome them. There was a detailed conversation about database indexing and its impact on query efficiency. Additionally, I was presented with various hypothetical scenarios involving API latency issues and was asked to outline systematic debugging steps and propose potential root cause analyses and solutions.
