I did my phone interview with LinkedIn as a Staff Engineer position. It was 2-hour phone interview. 1 Hour technical and 1 Hour behavioral. I was asked 2 coding questions, I solved and coded the first one (leetcode easy) but for the second one (some version of LRU cache), I solved (with optimal solution) but could finish only 80% coding. I could not implement some private methods. The behavioral interview was just a discussion about my role and responsibilities. Which went well. It is been 4 days and I have not heard back from the recruiter. Given that I was only able to finish 80% coding for second questions what are my chances to get the onsite interview? update: i got rejection after 2 weeks. it was really surprising outcome. i think they really care about your code fluency.

Not to discourage you.. linkedin phone interviews are very different and i have failed 3 times for the exact same reason you mentioned.
I got a call after 7 days of my phone screen so don’t worry. You will get the call.
No harm in reaching out to recruiter
I reached out to the recruiter. I also mentioned that I have a couple of offers in hand but I am really interested and waiting for their response before making a decision. Recruiter responded that "Your case is still pending hiring committee review. But if your offer deadlines are too close, I wouldn’t recommend waiting for us" :)
Move on
Generally takes a week or more since interviewers take a while to put in their feedback. LinkedIn moved slower to give me feedback throughout the process than other co
What was coding questions level?
