Machine Learning Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
Two coding questions were presented.
One was categorized as easy, and the other as medium (though I believe it should have been categorized as hard).
The topic was finding a node at a k distance in a binary tree.
The interviewer provided practical hints, but I didn't fully grasp them, which is a pity.
