Interview
I submitted my resume through a resume book for a larger conference and then I got an email from a recruiter saying they were interested in having me for an interview. There was a pre-interview dinner where we got to talk to our interviewers. Then the next day was the actual interview. I didn't get an offer but it was an interesting process and my first technical interview so I didn't mind.

Question 1
If you have two numbers written as strings, how would you add them as numbers?
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
