Interview preparation journey

Journey

I had to leave Deloitte due to my mother's health issues (just 8 months after joining from campus placement). Leaving the Biggest of the Big4, specially in recession adds up huge pressure but my motto was: Be honest, give your 100% & continue to upskill yourself. Within 1 month, I cracked multiple job offers including one from Hyland. So got even bigger & better offer than before. I'd say Communication is the key in an interview.

Application story

For both of my jobs, Deloitte & Hyland, I searched & applied through LinkedIn job posts, which redirected me later to their career site.

Asked in companies

Given an array ARR of N integers and an integer S. The task is to find whether there exists a subarray(positive length) of the given array such that the sum of elements of the subarray equals to S or not. If any subarray is found, return the start and end index (0 based index) of the subarray. Otherwise, consider both the START and END indexes as -1.

Note:

If two or more such subarrays exist, return any subarray.

For Example: If the given array is [1,2,3,4] and the value of S is equal to 7. Then there are two possible subarrays having sums equal to S are [1,2,3] and [3,4].

1. Average Marks

Asked in companies

You are given the name of a student in the form of a character ‘firstLetterOfName’ and 3 integers ‘M1’, ‘M2’, ‘M3’ representing the marks of the student in 3 subjects. You have to print the ‘firstLetterOfName’ of the student and the average marks obtained by the student.

Note: You need to print the integer part of the average only and neglect the decimal part.

For Example :

If ‘firstLetterOfName’ = ‘K’, ‘M1’ = 10, ‘M2’ = 6 and ‘M3’ = 9, then the average marks would be around 7.67. Hence, the output should be as follows:
K 7
