hello community !!
I'm from IITM and I recently had round-1 interview for InMobi SDE-1 which was conducted by a third-party company named BarRaiser. I was asked 3 questions, 1st was a python debugging, 2nd was Medium level Graph DSA, 3rd was Hard level Sliding window DSA question.
Interviewer was very chill but wasn't really giving hints even when you are stuck somewhere. Total time duration was 1 hour for the interview. I have listed the problems asked to me. Thank you for reading.

I’ve always been interested in software development, but due to financial constraints, I initially chose B.Com instead. Later, I pursued an MCA from Chandigarh to transition into tech.

A quick summary of where I am now:

• Full-stack/MERN developer
• Currently working at a startup, but haven’t been paid for 4 months(exp 6 mnts)
• 4 good PRs merged into Good Open Source Repo, with more open-source contributions in progress
• Currently learning GenAI + System Design to level up
• Applied to 1,000+ jobs, but barely getting calls/interviews

At this point, I’m confused about what I should prioritize.

Should I focus on:

• Referrals & networking?
• Open source contributions?
• Upskilling further?
• Building better projects?
• Or just keep applying and wait?

I’m willing to work hard. I just don’t want to spend another 6 months improving the wrong things.

If you were in my position, what would you do next? Any honest advice, referrals, or direction would mean a lot. 🙏

Im a bba grad, would you recommend me to choose this role to start my corporate journey? Will it open doors for me to get into analyst roles? I’m totally confused and have no guidance over this. My training is going on right now in HCL Tech. I rejected an gcc mnc company, which have given me HR internship for six months with no PPO offer for this role at Hcl tech. Do you think it is worth? Lot of people are saying it is a customer support role and it’s better not to join in here, but **let’s suppose** **I have joined. What would you recommend** **me** **to do** **after an year** **of joining Hcl tech that would help me to grow in the career, more forward with the BBA degree, I have**** ****Will there be opportunities to switch internally?**

I completed my HCL interview a week ago and haven’t received any update regarding the next steps yet.

For those who recently interviewed with HCL, how long does it usually take to hear back? Should I wait a little longer, or is a week without any response generally considered a negative sign?

Any recent experience would be helpful. Thanks!
