1st Technical Interview
This interview was purely technical and lasted around 45 minutes. The interviewer copy-pasted a problem on a shared document. It was a graph-based problem that could be solved in multiple ways. I solved it using Dijkstra’s algorithm, and the follow-up was also an extension of this problem. I solved both completely, wrote the full code, and explained the time complexity.
