Process
I applied through a referral and was then scheduled a call with a recruiter. The recruiter then scheduled a first-round coding interview over Zoom. The first-round interview consisted of a LeetCode medium question.
Questions
LC Medium: maximum sum path of any two 'alive nodes', aka leaf nodes.
Follow-up: What if any node can be an 'alive node'?
