I was recently called for an interview, and the interviewer asked me a puzzle. It goes something like this: "You have two containers, C1 and C2, both filled with equal volumes of oil and water, respectively (i.e., C1 -> oil volume V and C2 -> water volume V). A spoonful of liquid is taken from C1 and poured into C2, then a spoonful of liquid is taken from C2 and poured into C1. After these two steps take place, which container will have higher purity (concentration of oil for C1 and that of water for C2)?" I thought for a while and answered C1, citing that since we put pure oil from C1 into C2 but a mix from C2 into C1, certainly some oil from C2 is back in C1, thereby achieving more purity. The interviewer said it was wrong and asked me to try again. This time, I did some actual math and was told C2 would have a greater concentration based on the calculations. The interviewer again tagged me wrong, so I asked the interviewer to explain, and his answer was that both would be equal since you take 1 spoon of oil from C1 to C2, and put 1 spoon of water from C2 to C1. This is obviously flawed, as no oil is getting back on the spoon when you dip it into C2. I wanted to point that out but didn't. Later, I re-did my math thoroughly and found that C2 would have a greater purity of water.

I like someone in my office, but not getting the courage to tell that person. because i have created my image like a good person who will not do such things in the office area. Getting questions in mind like: What if that person informed about this to my seniors? What if any problem came to my career? What to do now?

The interview was face to face. I was told explicitly that it'd be a hands on coding round. DSA and screening round was already completed. The guy who came to the interview basically had the same level of experience as mine. First, he asked me about if I've worked on microservices architecture. I said I have and mentioned details about a few projects. Then, he told me: Since you've worked on AWS heavily, do you know the default timeout of a lambda? Told him, I don't remember exactly and gave him a wild guess. It was too wild it seems. My bad, should've just not spoken. I accept my mistake. Then he asked, what are the different services that can invoke a lambda. I mentioned sqs, sns, cloudwatch, dynamo db streams, etc. He's like, what specifically from a microservices perspective. I repeated SQS, SNS mainly. He's like, Lambda can be also invoked by other Lambdas which is what I was expecting you to answer. Great. Shouldn't have asked an open ended question if he was looking for exact answers, right ? Then a few other questions that I was able to generally respond, but maybe not with the level of exactitude that he was expecting. Then, he asked me to code up a few endpoints related to followers, following, posts and wall. I told him that in the interest of time, I'm trying to get the endpoints working instead of focussing on design and he said sure go ahead. I was genuinely under the impression that he wants to see if I know how to code, but he was testing my system design skills. He was obviously not happy seeing me cut corners. At the end during discussion he said you could've done correctly in a certain way. I said yes - It's obvious that it was the right way, but I only compromised on the design thinking you wanted to see my ability to actually understand the framework related stuff. Interviews can be a bitch !
