It started with a general introduction, and then I jumped to a verbal question. I had to formalize this into a Data Structure and Algorithm (DSA) problem, provide the approach, and then solve it on a text editor, not an IDE.

I did a phone screen that tested me on a system design question you might find on Leetcode. The interviewer seemed very distracted and asked me the same question multiple times.

It was very time-consuming to begin with. At first, the coding challenges were hard, as imagined. It took a couple of weeks to get a response back, which I did not enjoy.
