"I first asked few clarifying questions like the return array may need not contain the list of building in the same order, to which the interviewer agreed.
Then I came up with an approach where we iterate the array from right to left and keep a max variable which will keep the value of the current max. When we find an item which is greater than max we update the max and add this element into our solution. The interviewer agreed for the approach.
I discussed few corner scenarios with the interview"

"This is a Technical question. It tests your ability to understand high level technical concepts. Even though your job won't have any coding involved, you'll still need to understand these concepts. Being able to cover all these topics with clarity communicates confidence in your interviewer.
Unfortunately, there's no formula for technical questions, but some general tips are:
Use analogies when you can
Break your solution into clear, bite-size steps
Don't be afraid to use examples to b"

"I will try to reconcile the differences between expectations and actuals in the release in order to understand where there may be mismatch.
I would try to understand if there can be a roll-back or hotfix to remediate the differences and work with engineering to drive this.
Moving forward, I'd work with the rest of the product team to align on a roadmap and have a readout with the executive staff, flagging any changes along the way."
