Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no difficult questions as such. They just test your basics in the interview and if you are well prepared you will get through.
It was nice, informative. One should prepare using all resources. They will judge your understanding based on everything that you ever demonstrated in the process, so be aware of everything you said or mentioned.
It was basically deep dive into resume and some questions on Dsa. The overall experience was good. There were 4 rounds in total. Be familiar with basics of the language that you primarily use.
