Entrevista
It was pretty straight forward. The first question was to test my coding skills and the second was to test my thought process for solving problems. I spent some time on the second problem mostly because I didn't understand what the problem was (probably too much time). It seemed that the interviewer had trouble clearly explaining to me what she wanted as a result. But once we got past that, the solution was straight forward.

Pergunta 1
You are given an array with duplicate strings. Write a function to return the array without duplicates.
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.

Move zeroes in an array to the end while keeping non-zero element order, in place
Took about a month altogether, which felt longer given the intensity of the process. Kicked off with a technical screening, followed by two rigorous coding interviews. The DSA question on binary tree vertical order traversal hit me hard at first, but then I recognized the prompt instantly — I had just worked through something similar on PracHub. The final round was focused on system design, and while I ended up receiving an offer, I ultimately declined it. Overall, a challenging experience that definitely sharpened my skills.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.

Given a string, determine if it is a valid palindrome considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring case.
