Process
I was reached out to by a recruiter, followed by a phone call with the hiring manager.
I had a phone interview which would have led to a virtual onsite.
During the phone screen, there were two interviewers. One of them was shadowing, and it looked like both had just woken up right before the call.
They asked me an LRU-style question with a TTL associated with each entry. I solved it, with only a few test cases passing.
A few days later, I received an email stating they would be moving forward. Blah...
Questions
Implement LRU with TTL?
