Round 1: Screening Round (Karat)
Questions: System design questions from this interview experience and DSA questions from this interview experience. I was able to complete 1 DSA question and partial question two (also gave the correct approach). Not sure how I did in SD but I cleared this round. You get two attempts with Karat. The second attempt gets cancelled if you clear the first one. You need to schedule the second attempt after the first one is done.
