I stopped at the online assessment.

It had three problems and I couldn’t get to a point where I truly understood what they were asking well enough to complete them. The time window felt like it could’ve been enough if I’d been more familiar with the approach they seemed to be testing for, especially patterns like backtracking and dynamic programming.

Even though I knew about those general techniques, my confusion around the specifics meant I didn’t make it through the full OA. The experience ended there—no extra rounds, just a clear cutoff once I couldn’t get the problems to click.
