Process
It was challenging and a great learning experience at the same time. The interviewer mainly focused on DSA problems. They also asked me about my internship and projects. SQL is also important regarding the interview. I was not able to clear the second interview.
Questions
1st interview: I got a question on Dijkstra's algorithm.
2nd interview: Check if S is a subtree of tree T and a complex SQL query.
