Hey all, I have a pair programming interview for a backend Sr. SWE position at Coinbase coming up and would like to know what type of questions I should expect. They gave me some general information about the process but didn't mention any specific areas that I should try to focus on. I've seen some mention of hard/medium Leetcode questions, but wanted to see if anyone had any further insight. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For me the interviewer was a little rude I think. But that may just be an outlier
Ah, good to know. So far they've been really nice to me but I've only spoken with recruiters up until now. How difficult were the problems they asked you to solve?
Mostly mediums
Get ready for the grind up
One of my friend interviewed with Coinbase, they expected the candidate to be a super man with all powers 😂
One of the pair programming interviews there went really well. The other the interviewer didn't seem to understand the prompt herself, something about stocks. I couldn't figure out what was needed to code... I didn't get an offer
Interesting, did they have you do multiple questions in a single interview or was it two separate interviews? From what they've said, I was expecting one pair programing interview and if I do well on that, I would be invited back for an "on-site" interview that would take about a day. Do you happen to remember what type of problem the question you did well on was?
Ah that was for onsite, phone screen was defo leetcode stuff, medium-hard.
How did it go?
It went okay, but I got rejected. Ended up being one LC hard question followed by some API design questions relating to the LC question. Nothing too crazy, but I was super nervous and made some mistakes. They told me to come back and reapply in 6 months.
How was your interview in coinbase? Would you mind to share it? I mean, what coding question or system design was?
