Do FANG ask leetcode hard in phone screens?

Can I postpone practicing hard problems till after i clear the phone screen?

Depends on the interviewer. I generally try to maintain the same level as the on-site.

And it is expected people solve a hard problem in 30 mins or less without having seen it before?

Unfortunately yes.

I ask a variety of questions, but I try to stay away from leetcode. Too many impostors who can do it and too few who truly understand.

I mean, it doesn’t really matter if you say not inclined right? They overrule those a lot I’ve heard.

Phone screen votes are recommendations but need to be taken seriously. Those managers that don’t lose credibility.

Depends on the kind of hard problem

If it's a leetcode question, you must have done it before you apply.

Amzn. Be prepared for word break 2 !!

I think people are trolling, they're not going to ask a leetcode hard on a 30 min phone screen

I got a leetcode medium for my last phone screen (was at a FAANG)
