Process

The interview was the standard "Coding Gameshow," where you can win a job.

The interviewer asked me two technical questions.

I nailed the first one. The second one, I struggled for 3-4 minutes, asking questions all along the way.

I finally arrived at a linear solution to the problem. The interviewer was not familiar with my approach and told me I was wrong.

I suggested it should work but then proceeded to work out the version of the solution he wanted. Unfortunately, I ran out of time.

The interviewer was great to speak with, but ultimately was unfamiliar with all the solutions to the problem he asked.
