How many times did you fail?

Stop spreading BS. I am female and Asian. Got strong hires for system design rounds, but was slow on coding rounds. Rejected.

I've always felt leetcode was least useful for Google amongst the larger companies. We ban most publicly available questions and generally assess more forgivingly: we look for ability to think things through rather than perfect regurgitation of a known solution. So focus on theory and general problem solving ability. Interviewing is also a random process - even the best prepared person can be thwarted by chance. So, try and try again.

Is there any limit on how many times one can try?

I was feeling pretty good after the interview. Still failed 😐 with the feedback that I wasn't fast enough in a couple of coding rounds.

Sorry to hear OP :( ... if it's a close call ... you can skip phone next time and attend onsite directly.. Btw, which division were you interviewing for?

If you’re set on Google, I’d encourage you to not give up. Best of luck next time!

Be smart, think corners, questiin status quo, think in large scales, think out loud in the interviews, ask questions, be passionate

I cracked the interview in my 5th attempt. So it's too early to be dejected. Couple of points that helped me nail it this time: 1) I focused on DP and backtracking coding problems 2) read a lot of white papers by Google to help with system design. Good luck
