Facebook phone interview advice
I have Facebook interview coming up in a week. Till now I've been solving general Leetcode problems mostly easy and medium and very few hard ones. What should I focus on for next 6 days? Should I try to solve more hard problems are continue working on medium/easy? Are Facebook tagged Leetcode problems really important? I believe no system design questions for phone interview. How many coding questions in phone interview do they generally ask? I would really appreciate if someone with FB phone experience can shed some light on last week prep. This is for SWE position with around 6-7 yoe.
U need to solve 2 questions bug free. Just go through the different algorithms you encountered so far. Speed and quality is key
Do hards. Got asked 2 recently in phone screen
why do people troll lol. never seen harder than medium (easier medium) on phone screen. it’s basically just to weed out people they know won’t do well on site. They save real problems for on site
I know that questions are new and are not exist in Leetcode but Do the questions have the same solution concepts that exist in the Leetcode?
No hard problems for phone screen, medium / easy should be enough. For on-site I was asked all leetcode fb tagged questions.
Did you get an offer? If not why do you think you didn't get one.
No offer. They expected to immediately come up with optimal solution, I spent some time talking about approaches though I knew the solution. I didn't know details about designing Rest APIs and didn't do well in design round.
Thanks everyone who replied. Can you tell me if I should directly come up with optimal solution if I know the question or should I give easy solution first and then discuss optimal one?
Optimal solution directly
Easy solution then optimize it . I believe they hire based on how u approach the solution
So two questions where we incrementally build the solution in 45 mins?
You will only implement the optimized solution
