Just finished final round new grad SWE with Hubspot 5 days ago. This was a Wednesday so really 2 business days. And today (a holiday btw!), I just got an email from recruiter scheduling a phone call tomorrow. Is this usually hint for an offer or rejection? Feeling like 2 business days might be a little short... anyone have similar turn around time?

Edit: Looks like it was an offer. Details of anyone is looking at this in the future, pretty standard Hubspot offer:

Base: 125k
Sign-on: 10k
RSUs: 30k (25/25/25/25)
TC: 142k first year, 132k after

Current TC: 🥜

    Why will a recruiter awkwardly call you for an rejection? Congrats by the way.

    I am currently in process of internship. Recruiter will be back in 1-2 weeks if I will be going for internship interview rounds. I had a phone call with recruiter last week. Any tips/information?

      Tbf half of my rejections have been a phone call that’s why I was weary, plus it was a short time between interview and contact so it could be 50% “We def don’t want this dude” and 50% “Yup this dude killed it give him an offer”. As for tips, I applied for the backend role, so if you applied for the front end role, this might not apply, but I was asked a very easy coding question: merge 2 sorted arrays, and then a system design: design tiny url. It seems they’ve been asking these for a while so reading grokking the system design’s tiny url (and others) part will definitely help. For coding question, what I did was give 3-4 different solutions, so the interviewer knows that I know my shit. For example the first way I presented was to do arr1+arr2 and then sort, gave time complexity, second was a min heap of size k where k is the amount of arrays, then the third and best were two pointers since they’re are sorted and move them one by one into a third array. Also even suggested insertion sort if we wanted to mutate array and keep space at O(1). So definitely learn your ds and algo and be open to give and explain all your options. I only coded one of these but explained all of them. Then for system design, it’s obv good to know about things like load balancers, nosql vs relational DBs, hashing, thinking about availability etc. This was my experience and I’m not sure if this applies for the internship role, but according to Glassdoor, we at least get the same OA so hope it helps!
