MicroSoft Interview Experience for SDE-1

Interview preparation journey
Journey
During my B.tech, our seniors informed us how important DSA is to crack placements. Therefore, I started practicing DSA from GeeksFromGeeks, Leetcode, and code studio right from my second year. I practice a lot of questions. Also, I focused on core subjects as well properly.
Application story
The HR contacted me through email. I was asked to appear for the coding test. I applied through the link provided and then further rounds were carried out.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected because I was able to answer all coding questions properly. I started with a naive approach and went ahead to explain the optimized approach for almost all the questions. Moreover, I had a deep understanding of OS concepts as well.
