Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
In my first year, I began learning coding for the first time. As per the syllabus, I started with C in my first semester and then moved on to C++. In my second year, I delved into Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and simultaneously practiced on platforms like Coding Ninjas. Alongside this, I also engaged in competitive coding on multiple platforms.
At the onset of my third year, I commenced preparation for placements, focusing on DSA. Additionally, I ventured into frontend development, acquiring skills and building projects. Despite rejection from a company early on, I persisted with my preparation. Eventually, my efforts paid off, and I secured offers from two companies, one of which was Aquimo.
Application story
I applied for Aquimo's placement opportunity through my college's placement cell. After filling out the form, I received a call from their HR informing me that my resume had been shortlisted. They scheduled an interview for me in Gurugram, consisting of two technical rounds conducted at the company's premises.
After attending the interviews, I received the interview result approximately one week later, confirming that I had been selected for the position.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I performed well in the interview, but they noted that my JavaScript skills were lacking. Consequently, they offered me a tester position with the assurance of reevaluation after one month for possible promotion to a developer role. I accepted the offer with the intention of enhancing my JavaScript proficiency and proving myself worthy of the developer position during the subsequent evaluation.

Coding problem2
In this round, I was asked two Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions. These questions were aimed at evaluating my coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and logical thinking.
1. Anagram Pair Checker
Moderate
30m average time
60% success
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given two strings 'str1' and 'str1'.
You have to tell whether these strings form an anagram pair or not.
examples include:
'triangle' and 'integral'
'listen' and 'silent'
Sample Input 1:
rasp spar
Sample Output 1:
True
Explanation For Sample Output 1:
Since both the strings have one 'a', one 'p', one 'r', and one 's', they are anagrams.
Problem approach
I used the map to solve this problem.
2. Shortest Subarray Sum Challenge
Easy
20m average time
80% success
0/40
Asked in companies
Given an array/list 'ARR' of integers and an integer ‘K’. You are supposed to return the length of the shortest subarray that has a sum greater than or equal to ‘K’. If there is no subarray with a sum greater than or equal to K, then return -1.
Sample Input 1 :
2
5 12
3 6 7 4 3
Sample Output 1 :
2
Explanation of Sample Input 1 :
In the first test case, the subarray from index 1 to index 2, i.e. {6, 7} has a sum of 13, which is greater than 12; hence the answer is 2.
Problem approach
I used the brute force approach and then optimized it.
