Asking this question since snap determines levels based on interview performance What if I get timed out for fixing bug/test runs but completed Algorithm in the most optimal solution ? Is that considered as selected or rejected ? #swe Also what if you ran out of time in one coding round but did well on other rounds? I got 3 coding rounds and one design round. Will there be follow up rounds or simply reject ? TC: 260k
What level are you targeting at snap?
A lot of signals about your level are coming from the first 15 minutes where you get asked some questions about your past experience. Depending on how you answer it will determine how much scope and responsibilities you had. Try to use the most recent experience and talk more about what you did not your team. Another important signal is the system design interview, if you do good and it will outweigh your mid performance on coding. Also, it's important to understand why you timed out your with coding. Your interviewer will keep giving you more and more hints if they realize you stopped. If you struggle to finish with the given hints it might mark your interview failed. In the end, it's not an easy answer and it depends. P. S. Generally, a candidate is rejected if one of the rounds is marked failed, but there are exceptions. If you fail two interviews you have no chance. P.S.S. Interviewers see the level the candidate is trying to get hired for, so it's rare that you might get upleveled (talking about Sr to Stuff) since the interviewers are selected based on your target level.
Do you mind sharing what role you are interviewing for ?
It's news to me that you are leveled based on your interview performance... based on the job postings you are leveled based on how many years you have in a specific area (ex: less than 7 in say mobile is always L4). When the recruiter spoke to me it sounded like I was going to be L4 end of story lol.
