Interview
A FB HR person contacted me out of the blue directly. Everything was quick and well thought-through. It really looks like they interview tons of people a day and have an industrial interview process. After a brief HR phone chat, I was given a choice of a phone interview or a brief onsite - chose the latter.

Question 1
Given a set of non-overlapping integer ranges (1,3) (5,8), etc., and an input integer, what is the best way to organize the data and allow for quick search based on the input, etc.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
