Interview preparation journey

Journey

I planned that I will start learning DSA from the first year but I could not. So, I started DSA from the fourth semester and along with DSA, I also learned development because that is what I wanted to be. By the end of Third year, I was confident in both DSA and development but even then I keep on revising the concepts.

Application story

My friend texted me about this company visiting our campus and told me some of the important questions and topics for its selection process. I applied and participated in its selection process and luckily most of the questions were from the list of important questions shared by my friend. So, I was lucky here.

Why selected/rejected for the role?

I was giving correct explanation for my solutions in the coding round. I also built the optimal solution starting from the brute force algorithm which also added to my points.
