Was asked multiple question about improving the complexity of one question. The interviewer only gave me positive feedback and I asked him if the answer I gave him made sense to him, to which he answered "yes". Still I got a rejection email saying "I'm not a good fit". Discussed it with some friends and it made sense to them also but I don't what else the interviewer was looking for in a candidate.

Question 1
Find the first unique character in a string. Improve complexity
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
