Question 1
give me a time when you had to learn something new and struggled, what did you struggle in learning and how did you overcome it?
Two interviews back to back, 1 hour each. First one asked a LC type question, second one asked more coding basics questions (didn't ask to run the code, just talk through the pseudocode), both had behavioral components (but mostly technical)
