Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started my interview preparation in Dec. 2021 after my CAT exam. I started preparing for DSA problems from Prateek Narang's Udemy course and in Jan I started watching Namaste Javascript videos. By Jan I started applying on career pages and Linkedin. In feb I gave lots of interviews for 1 month and got offer from Inuit by month end and joined in April.
Application story
Recruiter reached out to me on linkedin asking if I am interested for this role. I said yes and then we had a conversation on call for explaining what is this role about and asking my salary expectations. Then a week later I got my interview scheduled.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
Yes I was selected for this role as my interviews went great and I was able to solve all the given problems and answer all the questions asked very well.
Preparation
Duration: 2 months
Topics: Data Structures, System Design, Algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Frontend, Javascript, React
Tip 1 : Don't solve lot of problems for DSA, target most commonly asked questions. As myself being an interviewer I also search on last minute for DSA interview questions and ask them.
Tip 2 : Confidence is the key and that comes once you have done lot of preparation and that you can do by giving mocks
Application process
Where: Linkedin
Eligibility: No criteria
Tip 1: Mention skills only which you are sure of
Tip 2: Don't lie in resume

Asked in companies
Given a sequence of numbers ‘ARR’. Your task is to return a sorted sequence of ‘ARR’ in non-descending order with help of the merge sort algorithm.
Example :
Merge Sort Algorithm -
Merge sort is a Divide and Conquer based Algorithm. It divides the input array into two-parts, until the size of the input array is not ‘1’. In the return part, it will merge two sorted arrays a return a whole merged sorted array.
The above illustrates shows how merge sort works.
Note :
It is compulsory to use the ‘Merge Sort’ algorithm.
Problem approach
I explained the how algorithm works and wrote the pseudo the code for it.

Rotate the matrix by 90 degree
Problem approach
1. explained solution which uses space
2. optimized it and wrote the code for it and did dry run while explaining
2. Shortest substring with all characters
Moderate
18m average time
85% success
0/80
Asked in companies
You have been given a string 'S' which only consists of lowercase English-Alphabet letters.
Your task is to find the shortest(minimum length) substring of 'S' which contains all the characters of 'S' at least once. If there are many substrings with the shortest length, then find one which appears earlier in the string i.e. substring whose starting index is lowest.
For example-
If the given string is S = "abcba", then the possible substrings are "abc" and "cba". As "abc" starts with a lower index (i.e. 0, "cba" start with index 2), we will print "abc" as our shortest substring that contains all characters of 'S'.
Problem approach
1. explained brute force solution
2. optimized it and wrote the code for it and did dry run while explaining

Hi, on which platform did you deploy your code for craft demonstration round? Were you asked to run the code as well? Or you just deployed on github and walked through your code?
