Interview Process
The interview process started with a phone screen where I was asked a few coding questions. One of the main questions was about implementing a Rate Limiter for a service that would handle requests efficiently without exceeding a certain threshold. The interviewer was very friendly and immediately put me at ease. After discussing the conceptual part of the question, we moved on to the coding phase where I had to write a function in Python. I implemented a simple token bucket algorithm to manage the rate limiting. We then discussed edge cases and possible optimizations. The interviewer also asked about my previous projects and how I dealt with challenges in those projects. Overall, it was a positive experience.
