first-round DS interview — I had shared optimal solutions to both problems, but haven't received any update yet. It’s disappointing to not get any feedback, especially after investing time and effort. Interview panel was significantly less experienced than me, Interview is quite basic you should have solved similar leetcode questions else it is highly unlikely you will be able to solve those level of difficulty ques in 45 minutes of interview.

On site Interview:
Medium Leetcode question on Two pointer, Hashmap, Sorting.
Mediam level interview. Due to lack of practice I am not able to come up with the concrete code. Interview was on paper, First need to discuss the solution with the interview once it is finalized you can write the code in white paper.
Interviewer was very kind and humble. I asked her about the journey of as a software engineer.

Le processus a pris 7 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Zeta (New Delhi)
Entretien
Recruiter approached me. Attended 3 rounds
1 2 medium leetcode questions
2 Computer foundations
3 LLD questions where a working solution is expected. Interviewer kept on interrupting asking cross question.
These companies want people getting interviewed to mug up LLD questions and vomit it out during interview. They dont have any interest in your first cut solution which won't be perfect.
Whole process took 3 weeks. Don't bother too much about clearing interview as it felt lottery process.
