Process
HackerRank Online Assessment consisting of two DSA questions. LeetCode difficulty would be medium, but if you're familiar with the subject, it bumps down to easy. The assessment is doable within a reasonable timeframe; I completed both with half the time left.
Questions
See the Blind 75, or preferably, NeetCode 150, which is more than enough.
