Process
I applied online. The process took 1 day.
The interview was taken by the AI. I feel that the questions asked in coding and system design rounds are related to the topics I mentioned in my introduction. Also, the AI gave me feedback about how I did. It was helpful.
Questions
Can you use a HashMap inside an await function? If so, what might happen?
