Why Bloomberg?
1. get a chance to learn more Bloomberg tech. bloomberg built terminal before Linux exists. Bloomberg tech can be an exciting place for me to work.
2. The first motivation is Bloomberg training and enough freedom to select your own team to work for.
3. Until now I never got a chance to work on finance-related software. I think so Bloomberg terminal can be an exciting thing for me to work on because I like to deal with huge data, scaling issues and low-level stuff.
3. Opensource culture, publish blogs etc.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview question: expand the given input string in the following way
3[a] = aaa
3[a2[b]] = abbabbabb
2[cd] = cdcd
Overall, it was a positive and professional interview experience, though the interviewer was on the stricter side. Unfortunately, I was dealing with an illness and wasn't able to prepare as thoroughly as I wanted to, which left me feeling a bit off throughout the conversation. Despite not feeling my best and facing a tough interviewer, the process was well-structured.
Fairly simple. Phone call then onsite. For onsite it was 10 min office tour follow by 1 hr interview then 1 hours system design and 30 mins manager interview. Interviewers were nice and the recruiter was accommodating.
5 rounds first 3 being leetcode coding ones and the last 2 being behavioral. The first three are the hardest asking mainly taggeed questions and the rest are not that bad
