I am a CS New Grad. Microsoft is visiting my campus for interviews next week. What topics do Microsoft Interviews usually ask for SDE Interviews in the first round (30 mins)? Any preparation tips? Currently using Leetcode tagged questions and EPI for preparation. University Location: Midwest Leetcode: 248 TC:0 😜
Expect tree related problems
Easy and medium leetcode. Give some extra focus on recursion and tree problems. They love that since solution is usually tiny and well fit for a short interview.
Stack, tree, queue, list, array, matrix, string operations.
Nothing too complex. Fanciest thing I was asked was a simple Trie based dictionary.
For on school campus: AtoI or StoI, deep copy of linked list. For onsite: Implement quicksort, cache related problem, concept questions, doable leetcode problems. Lmao some people talk about LexisNexis all day at SF.
