Technical Round 2 - 3 Medium LC
Behavioral Round - Honestly the most difficult of the rounds and clearly the round that they place the greatest emphasis on. This is the round that will ultimately decide if you get the job because there are countless applicants that can pass the technical rounds.

Question 1
Implement Quickselect, implement level order traversal of binary tree
The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
