First round i got leetcode 211
Second round not too sure
Tackling the coding round was intense, kicking off with a question about counting distinct island shapes in a grid. The second challenge involved maximizing a sum without using adjacent elements, which really tested my problem-solving skills. About two minutes in, it hit me — this was a problem I had practiced on prachub.com just days before. The final question required implementing stacks and calculating the streaming median. After the technical rounds and a brief behavioral interview, I received an offer, which I happily accepted.
