Process
I had a technical interview through Karat with a recruiter. The interviewer was very supportive and nice.
They kept on re-assuring that runtime and complexity did not matter, so the solution was not optimized. They asked three questions about runtime and basic coding, which were fairly easy. Then, we moved onto the technical portion.
The problems were relatively straightforward, starting with LeetCode Easy, then Medium, and increasing from there.
Needless to say, study data structures as much as possible for this interview!
Questions
A lot of priority queue and sorting questions.
