      I interviewed at Microsoft (Vancouver, BC)

      Interview

      Started with recruiter screen, then technical screen with engineering manager, then a virtual loop with multiple rounds. Overall pretty straightforward but the technical screen was a bit different, not leetcode but was asked to design an API, so a bit low level design.

      Question 1

      Design an API rate limiter
