Give me an example of a time when you had to work outside your comfort zone. How did you gain expertise in that area?

"I interviewed for an L4 entry-level SWE role, and the process was one 30 minute phone screen followed by a three-interview super day. The phone screen was quick and a bit rushed, with no real introduction, just one medium array problem and then Q&A. In the loop, the behavioral was only about 10 minutes, but it was done by a technical person who kept going deeper and deeper into whatever project I brought up, so it felt more technical than I expected. The coding round was classic DSA with a graph problem and then a heap problem because we had extra time, and the last round was a low-level OOP design around coupons and vouchers. Overall, I did not think the interview was that difficult, but I realized you really have to be ready to defend the details of your behavioral examples."
