How you prepare?

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

Entire Epi study guide and a decent amount of LC. Total around 350 problems

State Farm iwuvu Jun 28, 2019

Congrats!

Spell “idiot” twice back to me. TC?

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

190k verbal but who knows with the shitty headcount situation.

Amazon gxhn05 Jun 28, 2019

What headcount situation ?

Amazon CtWY12 Jun 28, 2019

Google has apparently been pretty tight on headcount for L3 recently.

How did you do on the LP questions? I’m guessing you’re better at LC than LP.

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

Actually I had no LP. I got a shitty LC question and my interviewer didn't say a word the whole interview.

Congrats.. comp? Is it better than Cisco

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

Only 15% more

Google dhtjfnc Jun 28, 2019

Wow. Google has been lowballing across the board

Amazon +? Jun 28, 2019

You can probably code but did not pass behavioral Leadership Principals or possibly lack of clear communication with the Bar Raiser.

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

Actually I failed at phone screen. Person didn't ask me a single LP question.

Microsoft MgIr74 Jun 28, 2019

Did you not study the amazon leadership principles and system design?

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

I didn't get any LP questions.

How are you going to react when they reach back to you and say there's no headcount?

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

I already got that, fine with waiting. I'm not in a rush.

Microsoft yesterda Jun 28, 2019

Who

Microsoft yesterda Jun 28, 2019

Can you tell me more

Cisco ciscorock Jun 28, 2019

Congrats! Also know of a few people here that passed L3 that had to wait a while.. they had 5+ yoe though and just wanted out

Cisco vjBh45 OP Jun 28, 2019

I am only 1 yoe. It's not too bad here. I joined as G8 so my comp is only like 15% less than Google.
