Colloquio
There was a technical problem on Hackerrank. There were two problems and I was given 1 hour to complete them. The interface was fine but the UI got hung a few times which was a bit inconvenient.

Domanda 1
The first problem was easy it took me around 7 minutes to complete. The second problem was tough for me. It asked to find the minumum number of elements to remove from an array to make it balanced. By balanced they meant, the largest element in the array has to be at most twice larger than the smallest element. For that 11 tests out of 15 have passed. But I could not make all of them pass.

## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
