Process
I handed out my resume during the career fair and was then called for an on-campus interview.
We talked about my background a bit, and then I was asked a design question about an LRU cache.
During the on-campus interview, I guessed the interviewer was very tired since I was the last candidate. They didn't talk a lot.
