This experience describes a fresher's journey to secure an offer from BNP Paribas. Although the opportunity initially came via on-campus channels, the interview process was conducted off-campus at BNP Paribas's office premises, with over 200 students from various colleges participating, making it essentially an off-campus experience.
The candidate had strong coding skills, having solved more than 300 problems on LeetCode and 200+ problems on GeeksforGeeks, and prepared consistently for 12-15 months for placements.
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds, which the candidate successfully cleared, leading to an offer. Specific technical questions were not detailed in the provided snippet, but given the rigorous preparation, it can be inferred that Data Structures, Algorithms, and core programming concepts were key areas.
The candidate also highlighted the importance of negotiation, successfully increasing their initial offer based on a previous startup offer.
