I had 2 questions. First one was easy. I nailed it. Second one was hard, i did get the ball rolling but couldnt complete. The interviewer did say that if we had more time he felt like i couldve solved it I look up online and realize the question is tagged as hard. Im like really? For a phone interview? Amd for sde1? The hard question had like 40% acceptance rate though Does this mean that i am a reject ?
It’s not expected of you to give a complete solution for hard problems especially if it is 2nd question. But depends on how you approached the problem. Also don’t rely on Leetcode tags! LRU got tagged as a hard, but it’s not really a hard problem.
