Worst possible way to evaluate a candidate. It makes tech interview just a luck based casino of wether you seen the question before. If you are at a company that asks Leetcode hards then take the initiative and change your interview process.
Do they ask HARD questions for SDE2/3 Amzn or L5/L6 Googl positions ? Amazon new grad interviews are shit. I wanna raise my bar and shift companies.
Had Google On-site today, and got asked all Leetcode Hards in my coding rounds. I was under the impression that we are all past asking LC Hards in interviews. Is this even expected anymore? TC 400, Interviewing for L5

Took me one day to understand palindrome pairs leetcode 336. Ruined my entire Friday after seeing my stock plunge and then spending a day to complete 1 lc question.

So I prepared for weeks for this phone screen and mostly worked on easy and medium, since most people advised that you can't expect hard. I got Leetcode hard question and asked to solve in 30 mins. I gave my best and finished the solution just on time, including edge case. I was pretty happy with t...Read more

Have you run into LeetCode Hard problems during interviews? If so, how often?
Why do people ask leetcode hard for interviews? It makes no sense. You just have a feeling of dread when you’ve spent weeks prepping and your entire chance is over because you were just asked you a LC hard that is expected to be fully working in 30 min. It just reflects badly on the interviewer...Read more

Compared to work, LeetCode medium/hard questions are a walk in a park. You simply learn one single language and practice on the website. The risk is lower (I don't cause a global outage with $1M revenue loss if I make an error in my LeetCode submissions, I just debug safely). At work, you require ...Read more

Select a completely random one. I offer example provided by leetcode to start candidate off. I then mute myself and expect perfect solution in 25 minutes. If they ask for hint I’ll ding the candidate and give them hint from leetcode. I literally can’t solve most of the questions I ask but if candida...Read more

Everyone on Blind talking about Leetcode hards. Are they the new norm in interviewing? When I interviewed they were rare, but seem to be discussed more now. If they really the norm then fuuuck I ain't ever leaving Amazon willingly. Fuck the very idea of grinding leetcode hard.
What do you think is the best pace for doing LeetCode? Is there a point in consistently doing problems, or would you forget patterns that could be memorized if you grind LeetCode hard just before interviews? #engineering #software #swe
