Interview process
Meta is still leetcode heavy and medium to hard questions should be expected.
Since it's leetcode style interview you can predict the out come and also prepare easily.
What didn't go well
- For the second question couldn't walk-though the code with example due to time constraint.
- I spent too much time explaining my approach for both problems.
Overall keep your thoughts concise and finish the code first to quickly finish both questions.
