I had applied for the cloud architect role. In the first round of the interviewer took some medium levels. DSA question and asked me to solve.
Since I am a architect, I really do LLD, in my day to day activity. Due to which I couldn't solve the DSA problem fully. I gave a high level pseudo code.

The interviewer politely said that even if you're good architect, your fundamental should be strong.

For the interview next day I got a email confirmation that I have successfully rejected :-)
