3 rounds onsite ds algo interviews:
Very different from the interview experience I had as an sde1, 3 levels earlier
Round 1: although it is a ds-algo round, they focussed on algorithm design and thorough corner case handling during design phase itself.
Targetting graphs in depth
Round 2: Again a simple file-handling question, focused on scaling and sharding. Corner case handling, good design of algo
Round 3: Medium binary search question

Question 1
Files and directories, advanced search mechanism in file system
A recruiter reached out and talked through the intervew process and scheduled the first DSA round.
The interviewer asked a OO question to model a system to represent a real time stock feed and make the system able to query current price of the stock, maximum price and minimum price at any given time. Given the stock price feed is a List> and the list can be updated correcting any past wrong records as well.
Followed by another coding round where there was a different question, this time the question was on Graph traversal - The question was - Given n routers represented by their x,y coordinates and range for each router to transmit a message was R, find if a message can be sent from a given source router to a given destination.
