Hey guys, I just went through the initial screening round. 1. Project deep dive (wanted to understand under how much scale I have worked) 2. Few CS fundamentals - Java basics - Process vs Threads 3. One DSA Question ( Nested Weight List Sum II): I was able to articulate the approach which was a single DFS solution but I wasn't able to completely write the correct code. Did dry run to find out it was overcalculating the sum. Later in the last 2mins, I implemeted the BFS soln Didnt get time to dry run it. I got nervous after I wasn't able to justify my code. I dont know if I will be called for Onsite rounds or not. very much devastated !
