Interview
It was an on campus interview. First round, we had to solve questions based on ds and algorithms on hackerearth. I solved 1 question and made it to the technical interview. In 1st round of technical interview, interviewer asked me questions on ds and gave me problems to solve. In the 2nd technical interview, I was asked to reverse a single linked list in k-pairs. My solution had defects which I could not solve. So i could not take it further.
