Interview preparation journey

Journey
It was a great experience overall. I mostly prepared for DSA to crack the coding round. The interviewers were very friendly and helpful, they don't expect you to answer 100% of their questions, but there are definitely most questions that should be answered.
Application story
I saw the opening on youtube and then searched for the link and applied. It was an easy process. Soon, I got a confirmation that my application is submitted and after a month or so I got an exam link.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I got selected after 3 rounds of interview. It was a smooth process of 3 weeks back to back interviews. I was pretty sure after the third round that I will be selected.
Preparation
Duration: 6 months
Topics: C++, DSA, Operating Systems, OOPs concepts, Java, Computer Networks, Compiler Design,
Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Don't try to cover all the topics in your syllabus. Select 2-3 topics and prepare them very very well.
Tip 2 : Don't get very overwhelmed with the preparation, start with basics and go to intermediate gradually.
Tip 3 : Always try to perform in coding competitions, that helps a lot. And do atleast 300+ coding questions either in leetcode or GFG for variety.

You are given a reference/address of a node in a connected undirected graph containing N nodes and M edges. You are supposed to return a clone of the given graph which is nothing but a deep copy. Each node in the graph contains an integer “data” and an array/list of its neighbours.

The structure of the graphNode class is as follows:

class graphNode 
{  
    public:
        int data;
        vector<graphNode*> neighbours;
}
Note :
1. Nodes are numbered from 1 to N.

2. Your solution will run on multiple test cases. If you are using global variables make sure to clear them.

You will be given ‘Q’ queries. You need to implement a queue using two stacks according to those queries. Each query will belong to one of these three types:

1 ‘X’: Enqueue element ‘X’  into the end of the nth queue. Returns true after the element is enqueued.

2: Dequeue the element at the front of the nth queue. Returns -1 if the queue is empty, otherwise, returns the dequeued element.

Enqueue means adding an element to the end of the queue, while Dequeue means removing the element from the front of the queue.
