Interview Process

The phone screen was primarily focused on the Rate Limiter problem. I was asked to implement a rate limiter class that limits the number of requests that can be made in a certain period of time. The interviewer was particularly interested in how I would handle edge cases and the efficiency of my algorithm. We also discussed variations of the rate limiting problem, including token bucket and leaky bucket algorithms. Overall, it was a good experience, and I appreciated the opportunity to showcase my problem-solving skills and coding abilities.
