      The interview process involved 3 stages: 1. HR interview 2. Technical interview 3.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gen (Kuala Lumpur) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      1st Round: HackerRank Test 1. One SQL test (tips: focus on JOIN and intermediate question on hackerank) 2. One Algorithm based question (easy) ---Passed this Round 2nd Round: HR call 30 minutes discussion with hr, will ask about yourself,you goals,acheivement,where do you see yourself next 5 years etc. ---Passed 3rd Round: Hackerrank Test 1 SQL, 1 DSA , 1 LLD question

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      3rd Round: SQL: Database Schema: The student table contains: ID (INTEGER) - unique identifier, primary key NAME (STRING) - student's name The backlog table maintains records of active backlogs for each student. Task: Write a SQL query to retrieve the names of students who have at least one active backlog. The results should be: Displayed in ascending order by name Formatted with a column header: NAME Important Note: Multiple students may share the same name but have different IDs, so the query needs to account for this possibility. The challenge requires joining or filtering data from both tables to identify students with active backlogs and returning their names in sorted order. 2. DSA: Rate Limiter Problem Implement a gateway service that controls incoming request rates. In each second i, the gateway receives a request from domain request[i]. Rate Limits: Maximum 2 successful requests per domain within 5 seconds Maximum 5 successful requests per domain within 30 seconds Return: "{status: 200, message: OK}" if request can be processed "{status: 429, message: Too many requests}" if limit exceeded Example: Given requests from domains: www.xyz.com, www.abc.com, www.xyz.com, www.pqr.com, www.abc.com, www.xyz.com, www.xyz.com, www.abc.com, www.xyz.com The table shows at time 0, request from www.xyz.com is accepted (True), and at time 1, request from www.abc.com is also accepted (True). 3. More related to low level design and unit testing. Like how to improved the code here, is the JUnit test is okay,rewrite it.
