I interviewed for a software role with three parts: DSA, system design, and behavioral. For DSA, I solved a sliding-window array problem and a graph traversal, walking through edge cases and Big-O. For system design, I outlined a URL shortener: API endpoints, ID generation, DB schema, caching, replication, rate limiting, and monitoring, explaining consistency vs availability trade-offs. Behavioral covered teamwork, handling mistakes, and feedback using STAR. I focused on clear communication, tests, and reasoning.

Had 2 interviews, the interviewers were nice, the questions were both technical, about your accomplishments, projects, experiences and yeah it was super cool the projects that they are working on are super fascinating and technologically challenging.
