Interview preparation journey

Application story

When I decided that I wanted to work at ePayLater, I didn’t wait for opportunities to land in my inbox—I took a direct approach. I went on LinkedIn and started reaching out to every employee I could find from the company, one by one. I connected with them genuinely, learned about their roles, and then confidently asked if they were open to referring me. It wasn’t easy—most didn’t respond, and a few politely declined. But I kept going. Eventually, one of the lead developers came across my profile, found my background interesting, and offered to refer me. That referral opened the door—and the rest is history.

Asked in companies

You are given a string 'str' of length 'N'.

Your task is to reverse the original string word by word.

There can be multiple spaces between two words and there can be leading or trailing spaces but in the output reversed string you need to put a single space between two words, and your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.

Example :

If the given input string is "Welcome to Coding Ninjas", then you should return "Ninjas Coding to Welcome" as the reversed string has only a single space between two words and there is no leading or trailing space.
