Process
Good process. DSA questions. The technical round is standard. Be confident and explain your thought process well; it should be enough to get you through.
For me, the questions were of average difficulty. It felt more like a discussion about a hypothetical scenario of the question itself. I was able to add value to the conversation by formulating an approach, listing out the risks and their mitigation strategies, and finally optimizing the process wherever applicable.
