The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub.

Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
