How would you compute how to track a users cash-back on a credit card.

Interview
The interview was generally really good. It initially started with the usual conversation topics and then transitioned into Basic DSA-style questions, followed by a case session.
The DSA section was more extensively focusing on the foundational concepts and nothing too extreme

In Data challenge round you have to explain the process and idea behind how you solved the challenge, then you will have series of questions based on your approach and explanation (e.g. why PCA ?, difference in weights obtained in manual and PCA?).
