Snap interview question
- 2 code snippet reading, recursion and string - Coding questions I feel are not super difficult - I didn't really do any leetcode/hackerrank before coming into the interview but I felt like I was given mostly medium difficulty ones (not sure if they're actually leetcode medium). There was a lot of variation of requirements. - One system design question, scaling, backend design, distributed systems, message queues - One object oriented design question which I felt would be more lower level specific (L2/L3). Basically designing a parent class that interacts with a few different library classes that came in various shapes. Asynchronous programming was thrown in here as a final variation.

Not well to be honest. Struggled with the code snippet reading, didn't finish the 2 questions asked in the first interview, not sure how I got to the onsite. During the onsite I was quite comfortable and pretty much treated as a learning experience, asked lots of questions during my coding and always started with a naive solution. Struggled at times getting to the optimal solution and picking the right data structure. And that was exactly the feedback, do more leetcode and come back, haha.
