Microsoft

I just had a very tough interview, and I tried my best. Most of the discussion was heavily focused on system design concepts, challenging my ability to think critically, structure solutions, and explain trade-offs under pressure.

The first round was an online coding round, and it had two easy questions. The first question was related to DP on bitmasks, and the second was a basic array question. Around 20-25 people were selected for round 2, which was a technical interview.

Two technical rounds followed by a 1-hour interview. In the first round, they asked me a DSA question on stacks. The interviewer evaluated my solution by considering various time complexities and finally pointed out my mistake.
