Process
Coding Screen.
Was asked a LC/System design mix question. I solved it and was moved to the final round.
Then I got this from the recruiter:
"After multiple reviews of your application, we unfortunately do not have a team match available that best aligns with your skill set and location preference at this time."
Spent so much time on preparation and got this outcome :(
