Summary

I interviewed for a Software Engineer position at eBay in August 2026; I faced two DSA questions and was rejected.

Company: eBay Role: Software Engineer

Date: August 2026 Current Org: Startup College: Tier-1 YOE: 8+

Note: Attended an in-office drive.

Round 1 - DSA

Problem 1: Onion peel order / boundary layer traversal of a binary tree (peeling nodes level by level from the outer boundary inward).
Problem 2: Gas Station (LeetCode classic).

Not able to come with optimal approach for second, has only started DSA recently.

Verdict: Rejected.
