Got a call from a staffing agency.

I had two tech rounds. Both were technical rounds. Both rounds were over video call. I was asked to code in VS.

The interviewers were approachable.

They introduced themselves, their team, and their work, and allowed me to talk about myself. They somehow had no interest in the kind of projects I worked on, nor did they ask me anything regarding them.

Round 1:

1. Find the smallest 4-digit number possible by taking away numbers from a given array of numbers.
2. Observer pattern.
3. Given a square grid of numbers such that the values are in ascending order both horizontally and vertically, find a specified number.

Round 2:

1. Design a map where every edge is connected by some building objects of some base type. Generate the XML for all the buildings in the map. Next, if we need to generate JSON instead of XML.
2. Design some kind of build pipeline with provisions to compile, build, test, perform static analysis and performance testing. Include how to store their reports, how to access and process those reports, and what database to be used.
