LinkedIn Software Engineer interview questions

Interviewed for an SDE role. The process was well-organized and the recruiters were responsive throughout. That said, the technical rounds were significantly more challenging than expected — definitely come prepared to go deep. Overall a valuable experience regardless of the outcome.

I first had a recruiter call, followed by a technical screening that involved live coding on HackerRank. The expectation was not to run the code, but to clearly explain the logic and arrive at the correct solution. The main question was the Valid Palindrome string problem, along with a follow-up question based on it. It was an easy-level LeetCode problem, and the interviewer was very friendly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the interview process.
