Online cordiality screening round

- Got an email that I was selected for online interviews.
Round 1 : LLD + HLD round
This round was a mix of HLD and LLD.
The interviewer asked me to design a Web crawler first HLD and then LLD.
Round 2: Coding
- Sort Colors
I have given a time-optimized approach first but the interviewer asked to optimize on space also.
- Search in Rotated Sorted Array
Round 3: HLD round
- Which one is better Microservices or Monolith?
- HLD of text auto-complete.
Round 4: Managerial
- Why do you want to join Microsoft?
- HLD of a VPN service. we spent only 15 min on this.
- Questions from resume.
- What will be your approach to removing a public API from the market, with minimal client impact?
Overall rounds were hard for me but finally received an offer after two weeks of waiting.
