Facebook phone screen tomorrow

I'm a fresh grad, and I've a Facebook interview tomorrow. Which level LeetCode questions were asked? If you were interviewer, what would put the candidate on better grounds if he/she got stuck? In the "Do you have questions" part, what's okay to ask?

All those are fair game

Be sure to verbally describe your thought process and why you're doing certain things. First describe the naive solution and describe why it's not optimal. Ask if the interviewer would you like to implement the naive solution.

What if I fail to optimise? What should my approach be?

Describe why you're stuck and ask for a hint

I'm not very comfortable with Graphs as I'm with other Datastructures? Would it be okay if I start it off as " I'm not very good at Graphs, but here's something that I think would work.." Or can I just say, "I'm not good with Graph datastructure" and leave it there, hoping for a change in question

They will not change the question

Looks like recruiters ask for pop corn :p

Never say "I'm bad at X" that will just bring attention to you being bad at it. Simply describe your approach and do the best you can confidently.
