Journey
My placement season preparation began with solving numerous LeetCode questions while simultaneously building my resume and studying interview questions on topics such as OS, DBMS, Networks, and more. I faced rejection from almost 10 companies before securing my internship at BlackRock. I'm grateful that the efforts I put in have led to an opportunity at a prestigious company like BlackRock. I look forward to gaining valuable experience during my internship, which I hope will set me on the right path for my career.

1. Problem-Solving, and SQL Queries in an E-commerce Scenario
I had done a e-commerce website and had added that to my resume. Various questions were asked on how I can handle different kinds of stress. Like, let's if the e-commerce website is facing massive traffic what would you do to alleviate the situation so that the orders are handled effectively. I proposed using load balancers to distribute traffic. Similarly multiple questions were asked. A puzzle was also asked by them. Also few SQL queries like fetching particular columns and joins.
