Solved the first question with the most optimal solution. second one, implemented a sub-optimal solution. took hints to arrive at the optimal solution but didn’t have time to implement. what are my chances?
Can you share the questions please?
Signed NDA. It’s on LC though.
Position and YOE?
Unlikely that you’ll pass
The expectation is to solve 2 questions in an optimal way?
Typically the first question is easy so the candidate gets in the groove, and the expectation may be to solve one or more questions afterwards. Can’t say for sure unless I know how hard the questions are
Which areas were the questions from ? Graphs ? DP
One was DP, other one involved trees.
“took hint” is the part which reduces your chances. but you might have very well impressed the interviewer with your approach, so you might have a chance.
Had my phone screen a week ago, after a week recruiter said he still did not get any feedback from interviewer, but hopes to get it soon, still waiting.
Same situation. But they told me I passed like 3 hours later. Said solution wasn’t optimal for space (was for time) but my code was super clean so that saved me.
What happened op lol
He works at Discount Tire now
If you are lucky, you might get another chance for the phone interview.
Best advice you will ever get. “Wait”
What’s their usual turnaround time?
I had the same, took a week and a half, the recruiter told me their schedules got messed up and are trying to catch up
