Preparation Tips
Tips:
- Just solving the problem isn't enough, explain your approach, edge cases, dry run your solution with given example.
- All interviews were scheduled on short notice of 2 days for me, so be prepared to interview at short notice.
- Practice LLD and be ready for questions based on Resume
