Microsoft recruited through the college career center. I provided a resume / CV, and they scheduled an interview at the college. The interview was a coding interview on a whiteboard with one interviewer.

Question 1
There is a string of length N made only of letters "a". Whenever there are two identical adjacent letters (e.g. "aa"), they can be transformed into a single letter that is the next letter of the alphabet. For example, "aa" can be transformed into "b" and "e" into "t" However, "zz" cannot be further transformed.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Kairo, ) in Feb 2022
Interview
It was professionnal but not stressful. I really enjoyed the experience, They asked in Problem Solving a lot which indicates its importance. I learnt alot and next time I will get accepted.
