I’ve been going on on sites for a while now and have failed multiple onsite interviews ; any useful advice or tips? Recruiters give very generic feedback and it’s discouraging to keep trying despite this many setbacks. -F/G/A/Zillow/Uber Usually seem to either bomb a round or am slow sometimes in coding up something ; the time constraint and pressure gets to me. Graduated from amongst top 10 cs schools in the USA for undergrad Yoe : 2 Also doing a masters while working full time as well Leetcode count : 140 TC : it’s okay but could be a lot higher
Would recommend InterviewKickstart.. I was in the same boat as you.. though I didn't clear FANG.. got a very good offer from a late stage startup.. it was important for me to get out of Cisco as a prime objective
Is Cisco that bad?
Don't even get me started on it.... Fucked up management.. lost faith in them..promotes shitty people to the top and everytime we beg for promotions/bonus .. garbage processes forced on engineers making life hell
I always assumed top schools grads breeze through tech interviews
I must be a fuck up then lol
Probably need more practice. I am sure your data structure and algo was hard af. Moreover lretcodd is like sat/act. You must have done well in those.
BTW where r u getting your MS?
I would suspect that your coding is probably fine - it could be that you’re possibly a bit arrogant or annoying. Perhaps you smell. Who knows.
Who cares how you smell.. ? Would rather hire a dumbass who is impeccably dressed but a complete moron?
If someone smells they’ll be hard to work with/around.
I don’t smell bad but thanks for the insight haha
There might also be a red flag on your resume or some bad social media posts. Who knows. These companies are all picking up on some bad signal, I hope you figure it out
What's your bachelor's in, are you a citizen? What's the feedback? Do you think it's technical or behavioral?
Some feedback has been : not enough experience yet , other has been coding wasn’t as strong as they wanted . Issues on the system design rounds as well as I “didn’t have the depth or breadth “ the interviewer was looking for
