Interview process
There were 2 interviews with a break of 30 minutes between them. Both the interviews were 45 mins long.
The first interview was fairly easy, spent the first 20 minutes on behavioral questions and the next 20 on an easy Leetcode question-> Best time to buy and sell stocks.
The second interview was quite difficult, it was about parsing a month's API data and outputting the peak API hours for each day given an operation

Nothing different tbh. The interviewers were helpful and helped you through your thinking
