A friend referred me for a few roles at different times, and I was finally contacted by a recruiter. Then, I had an online assessment that included technical and leadership questions.

After passing those, I had a phone call. It was unusual because the questions were a mix of two problems that required solving to arrive at the right answer. I must say, they weren't from the typical "top Amazon questions" or standard LeetCode problems, but rather questions that needed Data Structures and Algorithms knowledge to solve. I couldn't finish the solution on time.

A question that is not typical LeetCode, but needs DS and algo knowledge.
