LinkedIn Software Engineer Interview Experience — Two Optimal Solutions in a 60-Minute Screen

LinkedIn·Software Engineer·Aug 2026
Technical Screeneasy

The technical phone screen lasted 60 minutes. There were two interviewers, and both were relaxed and friendly. One was shadowing, while the other led the interview.

After a brief introduction, the lead interviewer asked about a project on my resume and went straight into its details.

The two coding questions were LeetCode 179, Largest Number, and LeetCode 244, Shortest Word Distance II. For both coding questions, I was able to give the optimal solution.
