Summary

I passed the phone screen interview at Meta for the E5 role in the US, where I was asked two LeetCode problems for which I provided optimal solutions.

How it went

Updated: Passed.

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/shortest-path-in-binary-matrix/description/
2. https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-window-substring

Self-eval:
1. Gave the optimal solution and dry-run perfectly
2. Gave the optimal solution but only dry-run half of an example due to time constraint (Crazy to think that I was targeted for this question & just had 15 mins)

Verdict: 50-50 game.

Questions asked (2)
