Technical Coding System Design
The interview had two main rounds. The first round covered basic DSA, how NodeJs works internally, and ReactJs basics. I was given a choice between a dev and a DSA focus, and since I was comfortable with both, I was asked questions on both topics. The second round was about system design basics. The interviews were helpful, and I received an offer, but unfortunately, I couldn't join for some reasons.
