Financial Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I actually expected some generic questions, like data structures, but that's not what I got.
They looked at my resume and found that I had done something in memory management, then proceeded to ask me related questions.
The entire interview probably only took 25 minutes, and they only asked me two questions, which I didn't answer well, in my humble opinion.
Questions
How would you go about implementing malloc() and free()?
Why does the kernel offer memory in page boundaries?
