asked two medium level leetcode problems that were somewhat conceptually challenging. in follow ups, you didn't have to code everything out, just explain in detail how you'd go about solving it and need to convince the interviewer that it's right. it was two people in person interview. they allocated a good amount of time to ask questions about your resume. what is the biggest technical challenge you had?
