Interview
I applied through my University career fair and got a call for an on-site interview within a week. The interview had normal behavioral questions like explain a technical concept to a non technical person, had a technical round where there were 3 questions and there was a case interview.

This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
