Experience:

The candidate applied for an SDE-1 role at Jupiter Money through their job portal and was contacted by HR. The interview process consisted of 3 technical rounds, 1 bar-raiser round, and 1 HR round.

First Round:
After a brief introduction, the interviewer asked 2 LeetCode medium questions. The candidate was able to solve them easily.

Second Round:
This round had two questions:

• Minimum steps to reach from number 'a' to 'b', where a player can go 1 step back or 2*current_step front. The candidate initially approached with recursion and DP, but noted it seemed related to Math.
• Find the bottom view of a tree, which the candidate solved.

Third Round: Design Round
This was a system design round where the candidate was asked to design a food delivery application. The task involved writing down requirements, discussing the flow and API routes, and moving to schema. The candidate mentioned messing up a little while choosing the database (SQL or NOSQL), but the interviewer was helpful in discussing and questioning decisions.

Bar-raiser and HR Round:
Details for these rounds were not explicitly provided, but they were part of the 5-round process.
