1st round: few basic Java questions & code to merge 2 arrays. 2nd round: Design Car Parkinglot system & seems interviewer was not sure what he wanted to see & agreed to make it monolithic. Then he asked me to design URL Shortener & for that too he agreed for monolithic. He didn't ask any question for any design. 3rd round: The Director was also about to ask for Car Parking system & I told him that same question was asked in previous round. So he asked me to show the same & explain what it is doing. Then he asked questions it is not having pricing. Design its DB schema. Then how will I be able to provide him the profit report via my design. He said that my design is not able to handle the concurrent requests, it is not microservice based but a monolith & that is bad. Fun fact:- These people expect you to design a good microservices based application within 30 mins, but they would have designed bad monolithic ways after wasting many days & now looking someone to clean that m*ss without accepting their fault.

An aging novelist, seeking to combat writer's block, brings his typewriter aboard a canoe that is floating in the middle of his swimming pool. Fortunately the novelist strikes on a great idea, but unfortunately in his excitement he knocks the typewriter off the canoe and it sinks to the bottom of the pool. What happens to the water level on the side of the pool?
