Got the call through a referral. They send you a coding challenge and once you complete it, let them know and they'll schedule an interview with a hiring company called Karat. The questions are medium-level LeetCode and anyone with a decent programming background can do them. The catch with the technical interview with Karat is that you have to solve at least two questions (the second one builds on top of the first one) to proceed further. And therefore, it feels like a speed test, instead of what it should be, a coding test. I solved the first one and took some time to debug it, which was why I wasn't able to proceed further. The questions aren't THAT difficult. Here's a tip: before you start this interview, practice coding FAST. Practice by setting yourself a time limit of 15 (or better, even 10) minutes for LeetCode medium. Also, during the interview, don't waste much time explaining your background; try to complete it within 10 minutes.
