Interview Process
The interview consisted of two coding questions. The first question was a medium difficulty nested list problem, which I was able to solve quickly as I had encountered it before on LeetCode. The second question was about interval overlap, which I had not practiced before. I spent some time clarifying the problem and its constraints but was unable to complete it within the limited time, finishing about half of the solution. As time was running out, I explained my thought process and the data structures I intended to use. The interviewer acknowledged my approach as correct and asked a few less critical follow-up questions before concluding the interview.
Technical Questions
- Nested List Weight Sum II (Depth-first Search, Stack)
- Interval Overlap (Sorting, Sweep Line)
Tips & Insights
It’s important to maintain a positive mindset, especially in a challenging job market. Accept that perfection is not necessary, and focus on your own preparation and progress. Give yourself positive feedback as you navigate the interview process.
