Summary

I recently completed a 60-minute phone screening for an SSE role at Coupang Bangalore, where I discussed a space-optimized Minimum Stack implementation, though the interviewer seemed to expect a different approach.

How it went

I'm currently an SSE at Walmart with 6 years of experience. I recently had a phone screening for Coupang in Bangalore. The interview lasted 60 minutes, and my interviewer was from Korea. We discussed the implementation of a Minimum Stack in O(1) time. I tried explaining my space-optimized approach without an auxiliary stack, but it seemed the interviewer was looking for a solution that used one. I'm not sure if he fully understood my method, and I regret not clarifying his preferred implementation beforehand. I'll update this thread with the outcome.
