Submitted resume at the career fair. Had a good chat with the representative and was emailed for an interview request. The interview was scheduled for the next day.

It was a technical interview, starting with why I applied to Bloomberg. Then, I was asked to talk about one of the projects on my resume. The subsequent questions were all based on C/C++ and some data structures.

Interviewer: I have written a book on C++. I ask you to write a program to generate the index (all keywords and the page numbers where those keywords occur). Give the data structures and how you would go about it.

Discuss the concept of virtual functions. Explain the difference in the effect of having a virtual function versus not making the same function virtual. Address some confusing scenarios involving virtual functions.
