Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I’ve prepared for DSA, system design, and the tech stack required for this job role, i.e., .NET, C#, SQL, MongoDB, AWS, and OOP. I have also focused on best practices for writing readable and maintainable code.
Application story
The recruiter saw my profile on Naukri, contacted me over a call, and then the process continued.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
Because I have a diversified skill set, and they are looking for someone ready to work as a full-stack developer, I have also cleared all four rounds.

Tip 1: Always listen carefully to the questions asked by the interviewer. Once they finish, first prepare your answer in your mind, and then speak.

Coding problem1
The interview was scheduled for around 3 PM during the day and was conducted over Hangouts. The interviewer primarily focused on my problem-solving skills and how I approached the problems. I was asked to outline the steps I followed to solve each problem. Regarding the interview environment, it was good and felt like a general discussion.

Asked in companies
You're given a string 'S' consisting of "{", "}", "(", ")", "[" and "]" .
Return true if the given string 'S' is balanced, else return false.
For example:
'S' = "{}()".
There is always an opening brace before a closing brace i.e. '{' before '}', '(' before ').
So the 'S' is Balanced.
Problem approach
I solved this problem using a stack. Whenever an opening bracket appears, I push it into the stack. I pop it out when a closing bracket appears and check the type of bracket using if-else conditions.
