Interview
At the beginning I was contacted by LinkedIn for a Technical Recruiter. She almost immediately set up the first phone interview. Two days after I got a technical phone interview with a really nice guy. He asked me if I knew about the position and He explained me shortly some of the details. After that we started with some programming questions: Determine the number of bits on in a bit array and then how to get the binary number from a decimal number. After that we discussed about how to design a File System using OO and at the end he asked me if I had any question to him.
In the second interview the process started different. She asked some question related to my current job, how to deal with estimations and how we solved difficult situations. after that she asked to get the height of a Binary tree and we discuss some test scenarios.
I am still waiting for response.
That moment when the interviewer asked about finding indices in an array for a target sum was wild — I had just tackled something identical while prepping on PracHub. The interview included a technical round with another question about designing an in-memory LRU cache and a behavioral question about meeting tight deadlines. After a smooth discussion, I was told I'd received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and not overly challenging.
