I recently had the opportunity to interview with Capital One for a Senior Software Developer role. While I successfully cleared the first round, I wasn’t able to make it past the second coding round.
The experience, though challenging, was a valuable learning opportunity. The second round focused on algorithmic problem-solving and required a balance of efficiency, clarity, and precision under time pressure. While I felt confident in my approach, I realize there’s always room to improve in terms of optimizing solutions and articulating my thought process more effectively.
