Interview
Got a phone call from campus recruiter 4 days before the interview. Had a 2 session of 45 min interview. Asked me about my resume and went straight to technical questions. One of the questions that I remember is to remove duplicates from an unsorted linked list. Which took me awhile for me to do because it was my first technical interview in my life. Second interview question that I got was about designing a hashtable. The interviewers were both really nice and friendly. I got my rejection after a week.

did two phone interviews. Both were easy. If you practice a lot, then you can think of solving any new question easily. Important thing is not to be arrogant and at the same time not to be under confident.
