YOE: 5+ Directly got a call to schedule interview (without any prior contact from HR about the role). I got to know about the role from their careers page. Round - 1 (DSA) 1. Similar question to this one: https://leetcode.com/problems/remove-stones-to-minimize-the-total/description 2. The question was: Given a string, find the minimum length substring that can be removed to make the remaining string have all unique characters (with freq. 1). Solved the first one passing all the test cases and as time was not much, gave half writen code for 2nd one but explained the approach. I also got a feedback at last from the interviewer that I had good problem solving skills and thinking capability :D Called HR after 2 days. No response and got a rejection mail in few minutes. Was really hoping I would get to work remotely but everyone faces a dumb HR once in their life.
