Interview preparation journey
Journey
My journey began with learning programming languages like C, C++, and Java, gradually progressing to web development and problem-solving through competitive programming, projects, and internships. Along the way, I explored frameworks like React, honed technical skills, and improved communication and teamwork. Preparing for Accenture, I focused on aligning my skills with its core values of innovation and collaboration. I worked on impactful projects, learned from challenges, and gained hands-on experience that strengthened my confidence. This journey taught me persistence, adaptability, and the importance of continuous learning, shaping me into a well-rounded individual ready to contribute meaningfully in a dynamic environment.
Application story
The Accenture on-campus recruitment process was a valuable learning experience. It began with an online test assessing aptitude and technical skills, followed by a technical interview that allowed me to discuss my technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities. This journey enhanced my confidence and prepared me for future opportunities.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was not selected for the role because I lacked confidence in explaining my thought process during one of the coding questions. While I had a good understanding of the underlying concepts, I struggled to effectively communicate my approach and reasoning to the interviewer. Also I was not able to solve one interview question given to me by the interviewer.

Coding problem2
There were 60 MCQs based on vocabulary, aptitude, MS office and 2 coding problems to solve.
1. Second largest element in the array
Easy
15m average time
80% success
0/40
Asked in companies
Given an array of integers, find the second largest element in the array. If there is no second largest element, return -1.
Problem approach
Array: [12, 35, 1, 10, 34, 1]
Start with largest = -1 and second_largest = -1.
First element: 12 becomes the largest (largest = 12).
Next element: 35 is greater than 12, so 35 becomes the largest, and 12 becomes the second largest (largest = 35, second_largest = 12).
Next elements (1, 10, 34) are smaller than 35 but greater than 12, so second_largest becomes 34 after processing all elements.
Final result: The second largest value is 34.
2. Team Game
Easy
0/40
You are given an array of characters, where each character represents the outcome of a game. The character 'A' indicates a win for Team A, and the character 'B' indicates a win for Team B. Your task is to count the number of wins for each team and determine which team has won the most games.
Problem approach
Array: ['B', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'A']
Initialize countA = 0 and countB = 0.
Traverse the array:
First element is 'B', so countB = 1.
Second element is 'A', so countA = 1.
Third element is 'B', so countB = 2.
Fourth element is 'B', so countB = 3.
Fifth element is 'A', so `countA = 2
