      In the technical screen, I was asked to build a polynomial class that supported functions like addition (used a dictionary in the constructor to store coefficients) Then in the final I was asked more Leetcode style questions like reverse a linked list recursively. I was also asked rapid fire Python questions like "what is a decorator?" I also talked to the vp about my experience. I was applying for my first software role so he was asking questions about my classes and distributed system type questions
