It was a virtual technical interview, and the interviewer was from the team that I would be joining if I got selected.
The duration of the round was 1 hour and our discussion consisted of the following -
1 Medium Level Leetcode Question - I was asked to code and dry run it using some test cases.
1 Medium Level Leetcode Question - I was asked to explain my approach, and write a pseudocode for it.
Round 3: Host Manager Round
This round was a discussion with the Hiring Manager for 15-20 mins. Mostly discussed some stuff related to my past experiences.
I used LinkedIn Learning to prepare for this round and prepared answers for common questions such as
Why LinkedIn?
Strengths and Weaknesses etc.
I can't really generalize this round, as it covered questions on technologies that I have worked with, academics, hobbies, tell me about yourself, and company-related questions.
He also asked me if I had any questions for him.
The round lasted for 15 mins, and I was feeling pretty confident this time.
