You can switch internally to work you like. There are a lot of options. Competence depends on the team you join.
There are phases when work gets slowed because of transition and all. Also, if part of the team is in the US, you need to attend night meetings.
Focus on Data Structures and Algorithms. Knowledge of BSTs, stacks, and hash tables is essential. Graph Algorithms and Dynamic Programming are covered too. I was asked a question on Topological sorting (implement it with and without stacks) and an
They don't value experience. They ask the same questions to a fresher as well as to someone with 10 years of experience. They ask questions from DS, algo, puzzles, and design. There are no questions from domain knowledge. So, cracking Microsoft is
I had a 5-10 minute introduction (tell me about yourself). Next, 15 minutes were spent asking about projects in detail. Then, I was asked a data structures and algorithms question (a medium dynamic programming problem - knapsack).
