Sliding Window Maximum right after a warmup is rough, that's basically zero buffer time if you get stuck early.

Yeah the pacing on eBay onsites always sounded tight when I looked into it. Curious if the migration SD round had a clear rubric or was just vibes.

Sorry to hear man, sounds like you did the prep work at least. Their loop pacing does sound brutal.

How long was the scaling discussion after the coding part? Trying to gauge how much time to leave for it.

Probably ate up the last 15-20 min or so. They just kept pushing on distributed counting until time ran out.

Had almost the same phone screen a few months back, bucket sort approach came up for me too. Scale follow up felt like the real test honestly.
