Interview
During the 45-minute phone interview, there are two leetcode style questions. First, there was brief introductions from the interviewer and no project deep dive or BQ, then jump to the coding questions, need to finish two questions with some follow-up questions and only need to dry run the code.
Not too bad it was medium to hard leetcode questions a fair amount of DSA.
