Interview
The first-round interview lasted about an hour and included questions about my academic background, projects, and motivation for joining Bloomberg. The technical portion focused on data structures, algorithms, and a coding/problem-solving question. The interviewer was professional and interested in my reasoning process, not just the final answer. I received positive feedback afterward and was invited to the next stage of the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked a graph/search problem similar to finding the shortest path between two states. One of the coding questions was comparable to the "Number of Islands" or "Word Ladder" style of problem, where you need to traverse connected states efficiently using graph algorithms such as BFS or DFS. The interviewer was interested in my reasoning process, approach selection, and ability to communicate my solution.
