Process
There was a live coding session for 30 minutes, and they asked about the project I did. You must be very good at coding to pass the live coding part. It's around LeetCode medium level. The interviewer was nice and gave a lot of advice on my future career.
Questions
It's just the LeetCode live coding challenge.
