Details

I had an onsite interview. The coding rounds included a variation of LeetCode 155 and a nested key-value problem. For the system design round, I had to design a web crawler starting from a single link and handling 1000 different devices. I was asked many follow-up questions, and I think this is where I struggled. The behavioral round was standard, and I was asked questions like about a failed project and what I learned from it.
