Bloomberg Software Engineer interview experience

The final interview felt like a building-process: I started explaining how I’d solve a binary tree-related search problem, and the interviewer kept extending the algorithm from there.

As the conversation progressed, I kept hitting points where my reasoning didn’t meet their standards, and I essentially ran out of answers to the modifications they kept layering on. Looking back, I knew I hadn’t prepared enough for that particular style of pressure, so I didn’t feel shocked when I fell short in the last step.
