    just gave the interview, solved both, gave a slightly different approach for the 1st question than what the interviewer had expected but he was ok with it 😅😅, had a long discussion about its time and space complexity. All this took 48 minutes, so I had to code the next one in 12 minutes and luckily, I had solved the 2nd one already, so I did solve it in that time frame.

      Only solving both the questions in the OA isn't the sole criteria, I have mentioned this in the video as well. If you fail in the behavioural test which tests you upon amazon's leadership principles, that might lead to not coming a call as well. Do wait tho, it might come
