This was a great read, thanks for sharing! I've always been interested in interviewing with a company that provides the challenge of building projects like these. I've only experienced LeetCode / HackerRank type questions at interviews, which I'm not really a big fan of to be honest.
My point is, are knowing DP and binary tree manipulation important? Of course, they have many applications. But I would receive questions about these topics in interviews for webdev positions and never use my knowledge of them even once in the job. I would think that companies would be more interested in learning about my skills related to the actual job rather than how many different ways I know to determine if a string is a palindrome.
That being said, I'm still in university and have only applied for internship positions. I'm also in the US, not India. Maybe these types of project based interviews are more common for full time positions / in India? I'd be happy to hear what insights other people have on this.
