I got an email for the recruiter, then after 2 weeks I had a phone interview, and then after a month I went to London on 5 interviews. First was behavioral, next 2 were coding questions and the last 2 were system design.

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
