Interview
Spoke with a Microsoft Engineer at a job fare, then received an email a few days later about the interview. I had about a week to prepare for the interview. The interview was a 1 on 1 interview with a basic coding question. I was a bit nervous since this was my first technical interview but the interviewer was a fun guy to talk with and very professional. I got accepted into round 2 but had to decline thanks to school constraints.

Question 1
Space Complexity of Traversal, also explain Morris Traversal
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.
