Virtual Tech Interview - Interviewer was very nice but the interview question seemed pretty hard. At the time of the interview, I had 275 leetcode solved and 843 submissions, but it felt like I did not study a single day. Included a lot of database-related stuff. Did so badly that the interviewer had to finish the interview early. I feel worthless.
