Journey
The journey was remarkably smooth, consisting of three rounds: Round 1: Assessment Round In this round, I faced technical and coding-related questions. I encountered two coding questions based on linked lists and graphs, with a focus on data structures and principles of the C programming language. After a few days, I received an email notifying me of my success in the first round and providing the link to the interview. Round 2: Interview Round The interview lasted approximately 1.2 hours, beginning with questions about my proposal, followed by inquiries such as the tech stack I utilized, the appropriate starting difficulty, and the lessons learned from the project. Subsequently, they delved into data structure questions, particularly about linked lists and trees, requiring real-world examples. Lastly, I was presented with a coding challenge related to an array, aiming for an O(1) extra space solution. This round also went smoothly, and I received the link for the next round afterward. Round 3: Behavioral and HR Round (Estimated timing: 30 minutes) During this round, HR questioned me about my motivations for joining the company, why they should hire me, my interests, and related queries. They also inquired about my birthplace and expected salary. Following this round, I received the letter of offer for selection.
Application story
Every day, I apply for two to three jobs on LinkedIn. Recently, I applied for an SDE position with Osmosis. After a few days, HR contacted me to inform me that my application had been shortlisted for the SDE profile, and I was required to take an assessment.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
As this was my first interview, I watched previous interviews on YouTube to gain insight into what to expect. As a result, I believe I was selected for this role because I followed all the advice I provided above. I dedicated myself to improving my skill set, engaging in problem-solving, completing development projects, and studying previous interviews. In conclusion, I believe that the outcome of selection or rejection ultimately lies in your own hands. By diligently honing your skills and giving your best effort, you can greatly increase your chances of success.

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Return true if it has a cycle, else return false.


A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.


Example:
In the given linked list, there is a cycle, hence we return true.

FacebookDelhiveryIntuit

You have been given an integer array/list (ARR) of size N. You have to return an array/list PRODUCT such that PRODUCT[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of ARR except ARR[i]

 Note :
Each product can cross the integer limits, so we should take modulo of the operation. 

Take MOD = 10^9 + 7 to always stay in the limits.
Follow up :
Can you try solving the problem in O(1) space?

You have been given two Strings “STR1” and “STR2” of characters. Your task is to find the length of the longest common subsequence.

A String ‘a’ is a subsequence of a String ‘b’ if ‘a’ can be obtained from ‘b’ by deletion of several (possibly, zero or all) characters. A common subsequence of two Strings is a subsequence that is common to both Strings.
