Why is it so G*damn difficult to move money out of India
Feeling depressed and really sad The recruiter said that I did well in design and suggesting possible approaches except for coding speed, be in touch and try again in 6 months. I did around 50 LC.. any recommendations what I should be doing better..? Have fb onsite in 3 weeks... YOE: 10+
Sorry to hear. I failed because of coding speed as well, so I hear you
Just solve LC man, crying is not going to make you a better interviewee
Which Google location?
Bangalore/Munich
With 50 LC you should be targeting CEO roles, developers are like 5 LC
Thanks... That really helped
Don’t give up man. Just study more and try in 6 months. Googles a tier 1 and has a fairly high bar
u are not fully prepared. u can do better
For fb do not expect tough coding and pls watch the video they send in what yo expect etc. If you do not solve coding in their format they will reject. Also they Care more on solving question correctly talking through approach going through tests etc then solving 2 questions. For system design go through some examples to understand how to approach sd. Overall interview process is easy. I was low balled hence did not join but I think you can take advantage of my experience.
seriously, refrain from giving poor advice
It is not just don't confuse folks ... If writing code for common ancestor or topological sort and design key value store is tough question then get a life. How do I know because I got 2 set of opportunity in 6 months and I made in second attempt. In first attempt I solved 4 coding in 2 rounds yet was rejected in second round I solved just 1 a piece and was selected. The feedback from recruiter from first round was that both interviewer thinks I jump to coding and did not do enough to explain approach. Also they said in one of the code I did not do sufficient test leaving a bug. Now in typical company including Google they would not go for second question without resolving such concerns.
In 5 years Google will be what Microsoft is today, in 10 years it will be what IBM is today. Don't feel bad about losing opportunity with Google. Companies come and go, you just have to keep progressing in your personal and professional life. Ignore the Leetcode slaves on blind.
You went for Google with 50 LC? How do you get such level of confidence?
Well that's what I could manage in the time.. full time working and have a kid.. shall I try doing 200 LC before attempting ?
