Moneyview SDE 2 Interview Experience | 3 YOE | Rejected
Summary
I interviewed for an SDE 2 role at Moneyview, faced two DSA questions and CS fundamentals, and was rejected after the first technical round.
Full Experience
Round 1 - DSA + CS Fundamentals (60 Minutes)
The interview started directly with few computer science fundamentals followed by two coding questions.
Question 1
A variation of LeetCode 76 (Minimum Window Substring).
I was able to come up with the brute force solution and discuss its complexity. However, I could not derive the most optimal approach expected by the interviewer.
Question 2
K-th Minimum Element in a BST.
Again, I was able to explain the straightforward solution but struggled to arrive at the optimal approach during the interview. The expected solution involved utilizing the BST properties along with inorder traversal.
CS Fundamentals Questions
- What is Garbage Collection?
- What is the difference between
malloc()andcalloc()?
Result
Rejected after the first technical round.
I hope this helps future candidates preparing for Moneyview interviews.
Interview Questions (2)
Minimum Window Substring (Variation)
A variation of LeetCode 76 (Minimum Window Substring). I discussed a brute‑force solution and its time/space complexity, but could not arrive at the optimal approach the interviewer expected.
K‑th Minimum Element in a BST
Find the k‑th smallest element in a binary search tree. I described the straightforward solution using BST properties and an inorder traversal, but struggled to provide the optimal approach the interviewer was looking for.
