Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The first interview was a hands-on coding round. I was given a problem to solve and had about one hour to implement a solution, explain my thought process, and walk through the approach step by step. It included discussing time and space complexity, edge cases, and how I would improve or refactor the solution if this were production code.
The second interview was a system design discussion. It focused on how I approach designing a solution from scratch: gathering requirements, defining the main components, choosing data models and APIs, and thinking through scalability, reliability, and maintainability. We also talked about design trade-offs, potential bottlenecks, and how I would handle things like monitoring, failure scenarios, and future growth.
