Interview preparation journey

Journey
My journey has had a lot of ups and downs. I started studying the concepts of DSA in my pre-final year. I believe that studying OOPs and working with system architecture design is something that will help you all a lot. Not just for interviews, but also for many other factors including your industrial training. So my suggestion would be to not just focus on DSA. I mean, yes, it’s extremely important, but OOPs concepts and system architecture hold an equal amount of importance nowadays.
Application story
I applied through the superset portal itself. The process was fairly smooth with no hiccups whatsoever. There was a test post that, included all the topics from basic aptitude to DSA Coding Questions.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected for this role because I had the right amount of skill set and communication skills that the company was looking for.
