Journey
As the semesters progressed, I delved deeper into specialized subjects related to my chosen branch of engineering. I spent long hours studying complex theories, solving intricate problems, and working on challenging projects. It was during these moments that I truly understood the importance of perseverance and dedication.
Application story
I got information from the placement cell that Commvault is coming to our campus and we have to apply on Superset. Superset is a platform where you can apply.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected because I was fit for that job. The first criteria of 60% and no backlog were fulfilled by me. After that, I passed the coding round of three hours with 25 MCQs of mixed subject questions.

'k' = 1  rotated array = [2,3,4,5,1]
'k' = 2  rotated array = [3,4,5,1,2]
'k' = 3  rotated array = [4,5,1,2,3] and so on.

Coding problem1

The round was designed to test my problem-solving ability. It included a puzzle and a system design problem.

1. System Design

Design a scalable online food delivery system similar to Uber Eats or DoorDash. The system should enable users to browse restaurants, place orders, track deliveries, and manage payment processing. Consider aspects such as user interfaces, database design, order management, and delivery logistics.

Problem approach

Tip 1: You should design every component in a distributed manner. 

Tip 2: Keep in mind to avoid a single point of failure. 

Tip 3: Have some identifier for students and non-students, like an Enrollment number.

Here's your problem of the day
