My girlfriend is scheduled for on-site interviews at Google. She is interviewing for SWE new grad (Probably L3) level position. She is good at coding and has solved 250+ LC problems (100+ M). She's nervous about the on-site interviews. What will be the average difficulty level from coding interviews? Solving Google tagged LC will help in interviews? As I've read somewhere that if the question is available on LC or anywhere else then Google removes that question from its question bank. Moving forward how shall she prepare for the interview? She has asked for 2 weeks of time to prepare for the interview. YOE: 0-1 (Recent graduate) #engineering #software #swe #google #softwareengineer
If she's nervous she's gonna fail.
I know, she's reading others interview experience on Glassdoor. That makes her more nervous as Glassdoor has less posts whom have accepted the position compare to whom have got rejection. I'm finding a way to help her and motivate her
Thanks for nothing a—hole , don’t listen to internet trolls like this fool here.
2 weeks is too much. Good luck
Prepare her stay calm Go through some standard interview questions: coding, system design, algo etc Some behavioral questions All the best
Ask her to do some Google tagged LC Hards
Really LC hards for new grad 😅 ?
Google asked me a variation of LC Hard for internship
LC med/hard with lots of DP and graph
Do pramp for mock interviews or even better to do some paid mock interviews. This will bring immense confidence and communication. Totally worth it
No this sucked. Some undergrad student mocks
Yeah, I think this is a good suggestion. Thanks
Focus on LC hard
How was the initial phone screen?
She didn't have a phone screen. She applied with the referral and was able to solve 2 coding questions in OA.
Do interviewing.io paid mock interviews with Google engineers (or find some other way to do mock interviews with real people from Google). That's the only way to calm nerves, by actually getting the interview exp. Do NOT have her go in blind, that's like rolling a die and hoping for the best. You need actual data from"real" mock interviews beforehand. I was in the same situation, skipped phone screen and straight to onsite. Doing 3-4 google mock interviews was tremendously helpful, and the real interviews proved to be easier than the mocks (probably just my luck). Again, don't go in blind.
Thank you so much for the tip
