Was ask to apply by a recruiter to apply to the New Grad software Engineer position after completing a Bootcamp. Didn't receive and offer but overall I appreciated the experience. The only drawback for the experience for me is that I was able to solve all the problems given to me with the optimal time complexity but did not get an invitation to move to the HR or Manager rounds. Tips: For the technical part, you aren't asked to compile your code. The focus is on how well you understand the problem and communicate your solution. Focus on studying Leetcode problems w/ Bloomberg tag. All the questions I was asked were tagged on leetcode. If an interviewer suggests a way of solving the problem different from how you are solving it DO IT THEIR WAY lol. Communication is key and before you start coding you should verify your interviewer has a clear understanding of your solution. Phone Screen: Basic questions about myself and my projects. Technical Question which was a variation of LRU Cache. Virtual Interview 1: Balance Brackets Build Balanced BST from sorted array Virtual Interview 2: Subway Systems

Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
