After having spent a few years in your company do you think you will be able to clear your own company's SDE interview for the same level as yours? I will admit I cannot given that i am not interview ready (i am a top tier performer though) and there is always a false negative bias in the interviews. Edit: Thanks everyone for overwhelming response and your honesty/guts to admit no. It started with more Yes's but has flipped in favor of more No's after a day or so 👍
I can, for obvious reasons
It depends. On how prepared I am. Who is interviewing. What they are asking and how. How do I present my thoughts that day etc. If I give a few tries I may get it.
In short, no 🙂
Haha. It needs prep. I have failed an internal transfer interview once. I don't understand why people ask leetcode hard questions. I have prepared one full day in the weekend before the interview some stress out myself. Severe migraine, nausea. So, had to take a break from it. You're right. I am not able to clear it.
Without preparation 0% chance. With preparation maybe 25%
Appreciate your honesty
Recently failed a few internal transfer interviews. Can't believe some teams ask LC Hards and do 3-4 rounds of interviews for internal transfer here. But ideally, at least internal transfer interviews should need 0 prep.
I understand your pain
Interesting. Can’t the teams look at your git commits? Jira/issue tracker you use - being a data driven company, why would you need to rely on LC problems? system design makes sense. is it just to level the playing field with external candidates?
I understand. It's absolutely crazy. This brings up the point that is the focus on crazily hard tech questions an indicator of ones success? Or how the person is showing ownership, being curious and learning new things, taking initiative (bias for action) and doing dive deep, coaching others while insisting on highest standards ie all the LPs we love to hate are a true measure of someone's potential, a great appraisal and success?
I wouldn't pass it without at least a week or two of prep.
We do a take home with the tech stack we use so probably with my eyes closed
With no prep, no sleep, and while drunk I’d crush it.

If you stay somewhere for a while and get a promotion or two (and don't keep your interview skills sharp), you will have a much harder interview, and little recent experience. Couple that with the false negative bias, and you're in deep shit!
That's just the Imposter Syndrome speaking, obviously you can
