Process
I was asked a LeetCode 2D array problem, which I aced because I had just learned it the night before. Anyway, I did have a bit of an issue with time complexity.
I failed the interview even though I got the solution, as I mentioned it was very easy for me.
I should have passed, but interviewers seem to like to find any reason to fail candidates if they don't do perfectly. It's kind of a sad commentary on the tech culture in general.
