Uber Software Engineer interview experience

I’d seen chatter that the coding rounds were tied to LeetCode, with some people mentioning hard-level questions as part of the bar.

At the time, I didn’t have my own interview experience to compare against yet—I was mostly trying to interpret what I’d read and figure out what to expect. That uncertainty was tough because it affects how you pace everything once you sit down to code.

So my journey here was still in the “about to start” phase: I was trying to decide whether I needed to focus on harder LeetCode-style problems and whether “hard” would really show up.
