Get ready for an upcoming interview by focusing on LeetCode medium-level challenges. Unlike many other processes, there won't be an online assessment this time; instead, you'll dive straight into a direct phone interview. The interviewer is likely to ask questions that are similar in nature to those found on LeetCode, so it's crucial to practice those thoroughly. Additionally, make sure you do your homework on the company. Understand their core values, products, and recent developments. This will not only help you in potential situational questions but also demonstrate genuine interest. Lastly, revisit your resume. Make sure it's polished, updated with recent achievements, and tailored to the role you're aiming for. Remember, a well-prepared candidate always stands out.

OA - 1 arrays Medium, 1 Trie Hard. I had 45 minutes to complete that. I was able to do the medium in about 15-20 minutes but I am not that great with trie ds so I was not able to finish.
Four Round Process
Phone Interview with Human Resources
Coding Round; 1 DSA Leetcode Medium Q
Coding Round: 2 DSA Leetcode Medium Q
Manager Round: System Design Q and behavioural Q
It took about four weeks from application to offer, longer than I initially expected. The initial phone screen was straightforward, covering my resume and some basic algorithms. Then came the technical rounds, which were challenging. One question on minimum window substrings had me diving into a sliding-window approach using pointers and hashmaps. Funny enough, I recognized it mid-round as something I’d practiced on PracHub just days before. After a final system design discussion, I received the offer and happily accepted.

Question 1
Given two strings s and t, return the minimum window substring of s that contains every character of t including duplicates, or an empty string if no such window exists. Walk through the sliding-window approach using two pointers and a character-frequency hashmap, analyze the O(|s| + |t|) time complexity, and discuss how to adapt it when t contains characters not present in s or when s arrives as a stream that cannot be fully buffered.
