Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions include the REST Framework (basically I got referred for a backend engineer in Python Django). The interview asked me about cookies, encryption, hashing, and Django query optimization.
They ask a lot of basic DSA, deep python questions. Lots of questions on system design and SQL optimisation. Code to generate Fibonacci series. Revert a B tree. Sorting algorithms.
