The interview began with a brief conversation. The recruiter asked me about my background, previous work experience, and motivation for applying to the company.

After that, we moved to the technical part of the interview, which involved solving two coding problems. Both problems were LeetCode-style questions, requiring strong algorithm and data structure knowledge.

Two Hard LeetCode Questions:

• The first problem focused on [specific topic, e.g., dynamic programming, graphs, etc.]. I struggled with identifying the optimal approach at first. Despite spending several minutes thinking through different solutions, I wasn't able to arrive at a correct or efficient solution.
• The second problem related to [another specific topic, e.g., binary trees, recursion, etc.]. Again, I had difficulty breaking down the problem and finding a clear solution.

I wasn't able to fully solve either of the questions during the time allotted.

Reflection:

Although I had a solid understanding of the theoretical concepts, the pressure of solving these hard problems in a timed interview environment affected my performance. I believe with more time or further practice on these types of questions, I would be able to solve them more efficiently.
