She was then shortlisted for the interview round, where she faced two technical rounds focusing on data structures and algorithms. ''The interviews were scheduled for the very next day, leaving us with almost no time to prepare. There were two rounds of interviews, each primarily focused on Data Structures and Algorithms and problem-solving. Both rounds were eliminatory,'' she wrote.
She shared that the first interview, a 50-minute session, put her problem-solving skills to the test with two complex questions on data structures and algorithms. The second interview, lasting 45 minutes, followed a similar pattern, with a series of rigorous questions designed to assess her expertise.
Ms Singh's intense preparation and hard work paid off when she was finally selected for the internship. ''Result: Selected This is a dream come true. I had never thought about clearing the first interview of my life that too in GOOGLE.''
As her post went viral, a floodgate of congratulations poured in from all corners. One user wrote, ''Congratulations on getting selected!'' Another commented, ''Tell us about your struggle… how you started DSA and the resources and what other skills did you learn and the resources too?''
A third said, ''this is a great thread and congratulations on getting the internship.''
