Idk man. Sometimes these tech interviews are so frustrating. I have good grasp on all DS&A. But in the timed situation like these, my mind goes completely blank if I see new type of questions. This damn question is not in leetcode either. :(

FYI I screwed up an online assessment from Airbnb that was just Dijkstra's algorithm cuz my brain refused to work that day. Got multiple FAANG offers a few weeks later. Shit happens. π
There are hundreds of other companies out there yet to interview and reject you. So let's keep moving.
Seriously though, you have to internalize that this isn't a rejection or an assessment of your engineering chops. It's a game lost. So onward to the next game.
BTW, I've felt good 'rejecting' companies after I passed their phone screen. Try it, it's empowering. You realize it's not condescension, just business.
Youve got to leave your emotions at the door when hearing interview feedback. If you can't, they you ain't ready yet. You need to keep your wits about you for the next interview and for everything else in your life.
