Got a call from a recruiter. The HackerRank test was shared, and one technical interview is scheduled. The feedback was negative; I'm not sure about the remaining rounds.

1. HackerRank Test
2. Technical Interview

The questions were:

a. How do you rate yourself in Java on a scale of 1-10? b. How do you rate yourself in data structures and algorithms on a scale of 1-10?

I think these questions should have been asked by HR, not a technical interviewer.

1. Sort 0, 1, 2.
2. Linked List: finding the middle element.
3. Finding the minimum element from the stack.

It clearly felt like the person was planning to reject [me/the candidate] and still wasted the remaining time making the interviewee uncomfortable.
