      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Citadel

      Interview

      An unexpected twist happened during the technical rounds when I was hit with a question about implementing an LRU cache. It was the same kind of problem I had focused on in my prep time on PracHub just days before. The pressure was intense, especially when tackling a thread-safe shared counter design, but having practiced that pattern really made a difference. Following the coding questions, there was a behavioral interview, and I felt a good vibe throughout. In the end, I received an offer, which I gladly accepted.
