Surprised by the quantity of coding sessions

I'm on a two week sprint interviewing with a bunch of companies (fangs + a few startups). Done two so far. I'm interviewing for applied/data/ml/research scientist roles. So far I'm getting 1/2 coding sessions per loop. They don't even spend a full session on coding. I feel like I wasted so much time solving LC in the last month (150 mostly top interview/liked questions). Were the last two anamolies? Pretty sure it'll look different at Google for example next week.

Not sure if you are humble bragging. You are not applying for a SDE role. Why arenโ€™t you surprised that you arenโ€™t asked to demonstrate your culinary skills?

Wait so getting asked to cook a soufflรฉ in a FAANG interview isnโ€™t common??

Nope. Itโ€™s more common when you are interviewing for a role as a Dalek in Dr Who

If it was a Google SWE role I got like two leets per round for 5 rounds lol

What are the roles you applied for at each of the companies ... if the title is data scientists yes you will be asked sql and a/b testing and ml algorithms ... if itโ€™s a SWE role there will be coding , design too

Good, stop supporting mindfuck tools like LC.

If you applied for an ml role then why will they ask you coding questions ? Maybe 1 to just see if youโ€™re illiterate in front of a computer

@OP What have your interview sessions been covering?

Zillow Group Croissants OP May 23, 2019
