Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter to sign up for an interview after applying online about three weeks ago, and set up a time about two weeks later. The first interview consisted of 2 programming questions. I was then was invited that night to do a second interview. The second interview also consisted of 2 programming questions. I received the offer the next day.

Question 1
Pretty typical questions on combinatorics, BST's, binary search with follow-up.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
