Had my onsite Monday, thought it went OK, I was very far from perfect but it was probably an accurate reflection of my ability at this point. Recruiter sent an email this morning titled "Good News" and said in the body the interview feedback is looking good. Had a chat with her this afternoon, and she said my packet is going to the HC, but wouldn't be pinned down on whether she would consider it a packet with a high likelihood of success or if I received any strong hire recommendations. So, I guess the answer at this point is that it's impossible to know and just wait? Lol, I hate not knowing :) Have a FB onsite in a couple weeks, so I'll just try to focus on studying for that. Btw, extra context, I'm a career-changer and almost certainly going for an L3 position, SWE-SRE.
Best of luck!
good luck!!
Lucky you. I had an onsite on Monday too but I haven’t heard back
Good luck, man!
Thank you. Hope you get the offer soon ☺️
Congrats .. how were the interviews? Particularly on the system design rounds
Thanks! I actually didn't have a system design, they were all whiteboarding although one of them threw in a code review that I felt like I totally bungled. Difficulty was LC medium-ish, had never seen any of the questions before. I do not think I worked through them terribly fast (I spent a lot of time running test cases through the code when I was finished), so I don't know if there were follow-ups I did not get to.
Thanks for the info. Best of luck
How did you prepare? Were the questions similar to LC mediums?
CTCI and Leetcode, about 175 questions answered, mostly medium, maybe 30 hard and 20 easy. I did think the questions were similar to Leetcode mediums. I had gotten to the point where I could do most mediums in about 25-30 minutes. Much harder on a whiteboard though with someone watching. I bought a whiteboard for my apartment and did some practice whiteboard interviews with a friend of mine who's an engineer for LinkedIn. I def recommend practicing on a whiteboard.
NDA, so I feel like I ought not even talk about subject-matter. Sorry.
Good luck. What would you suggest focusing on more.
Approved by HC!!! Incredibly happy and excited 😀
Nice. I have a phone interview coming up. Can you describe your experience
Algo and DS questions. Make sure to explain and say out loud your entire thought process. Good luck!
Come back after you get an offer.
