Technical Coding

So I had this interview for SDE. It was a total of 4 rounds, and each was like, you pass or you don't. First up was an OA round, and after that, about 13 of us made it. Then came a technical round where they asked medium and easy DSA stuff. Roughly half got through this one. The next round focused on my resume, projects, and core subjects like OS and computer networks, plus one DSA question. The very last one was the HR round.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Medium and easy LeetCode questions.
  • Questions about resume, projects and core subjects (Operating system and computer networks) with one DSA question.
