I’m confused by what happened kinda. Came to working solution on one, talked through second and coded some. I got stuck and updated my approach and explained why the first was wrong with an example. But it took me a bit to see the flaw in the logic. I definitely talked through edge cases, traced code, gave/updated space and time complexity when needed. I didn’t feel AMAZING about it but I know I could solve those problems in a normal environment quickly. Was told “you did a good job today and good luck moving forward” I know meta is all about complete code though. Thoughts? Edit: First solution was On and O1 space it was optimal with respect to the problem requirement
I read somewhere for meta phone screen it’s pass if the interviewer thinks you have greater than 2/3 odds of getting offer, so not necessarily demanding perfection ^ someone from meta or the process please correct if this is wrong
I heard even lower. Like 1/3. From personal experience I totally botched my phone screen and moved to on-site then offer for E4. I didn’t get a completely working solution for one, and didn’t have time to code the followup for the second, and got a technical question wrong, all in the phone screen. On-site went nearly perfect except 1 question.
I’m aiming for e4 later this year! If I can ask, what was your prep process?
You can’t really know for certain, just don’t worry about it and wait on the result. But in general if you have decently working solutions for 2 problems without too many hints you should be ok
Ya know this is a good point. Everyone should stop posting crap like this on blind it’s not productive lol
I think you did fairly well, most probably onsite.
Good luck op
Op, did you get the onsite?
Nope

There’s going to be an emergency shut down
Had a similar experience recently. After trying a couple wrong approaches, I stopped and identified what the issue was and how I would fix it. Interviewer asked a couple questions about details and complexity of my proposed solution before moving on to second question because time. Second question went really well. Scheduled onsite last week
