Colloquio
First a recruiter reached out to me and then she set up a mini case interview for the next week. there was 2 rounds interview if I passed the first one. but that day I was extremely nerves and couldn't concentrate on the problem. Now that I think about the interview questions, I see how easy it was.

It was very good. The person asked me questions and I responded back with answers. It was a pleasant experience. The questions were interesting. I have nothing more to say on the matter.
Interviews at large tech and consulting firms typically follow a structured, multi-round process designed to assess both technical competence and cultural fit. Candidates can expect four or more interview rounds, which often include a mix of behavioral interviews, case studies, and sometimes technical or role-specific assessments depending on the position. Behavioral interviews focus on past experiences, decision-making, teamwork, and leadership, while case interviews evaluate problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to communicate structured solutions under pressure. To prepare effectively, candidates should thoroughly review the sample questions and case examples provided on the company’s website, as these closely reflect the format, expectations, and evaluation criteria used during the actual interviews.

How to beat me at poker
I like playing poker, but I need to improve at shuffling cards.
Here is my shuffling method :
I take the card from the top to start a second pile.
I take the next card from the top of the pile and put it under the second pile.
I take the next card from the top of the pile and put it on top of the second pile.
I repeat the last two steps until no card is in the first pile.
Given the initial pile of cards, can you guess the order after my shuffling?
