In the first inerview round, I was asked two problems, that were based on Data Structures. 

I realized a key point in this round : that sometimes, the interviewer is wrong, and you are right. Still, you should not argue with the interviewer, rather, just accept, and move on. 

This happened in the first coding problem itself, when, I actually used a "map" in c++. The interviewer asked me, to use an "unordered map" Instead of map, saying, that using an unordered map would make the insertion cost O(1) instead of O(log(n)). I refused to this by saying, that using unordered map is risky, as in case of a lot of collisions, it could go O(n). 

Still, the interviewer said, that I were wrong, and said that he had done some competitive programming himself, and he never faced a TLE verdict because of using unordered map. 

And I knew very well, that an Anti-Hash-Test could be created, to enforce a TLE verdict. The interviewer went on to saying that "every competitive programmer in the world would never use a map, rather, always use unordered map".

I slightly smiled to this, but agreed, and later cleared that interview, because of the smooth second problem.
