Summary

I interviewed for an SDE‑1 position at Zepto, faced two DSA questions (IPO and Separate Squares 1), and was rejected.

Full Experience

Im dumb and hated this round because I failed to do the HARD problem which i had done previously on leetcode but only once. 2 questions, got so frustrated on the first one that i decided not to continue the interview and brainstorm the 2nd question, which was again a geometric based question. REJECTED.

Q1) IPO (502)(Hard) Q2) Seperate Squares 1 (3453)(Medium)

I really dont get it whats with the Hard questions in interviews these days. PS: sry for rant,job hunting after a layoff is frustrating enough already, and then you get these questions in interviews.
