Feeling very depressed and wasted. Going blank and getting scared while practising after interview. Need help? #leetcode #microsoft #codinginterview #interview #interviewed
What type of question(s) did you get in the assessment?
DP one question, one tree based and one was mathematical ship based problem. Couldn't solve the mathematical and DP question.
Sometimes u get unlucky. It could be the question or the day u attempted, tired/sleepy/hungry/mind going blank. Take ur pick. No need to be disheartened. Practice more. Try treating LC practices as timed OA.
Thanks a lot BlindWitch.
Dude blindwitch is there for everyone, kudos to you for spreading positivity
Hey don't be hard on yourself ,it happens . I remembered that I failed amazon interview around 3 times before making it into 4th attempt. Everything has right time , just give efforts and don't worry about results.
Thanks a lot, Jeb. Maybe I was thinking this like a do or die task.
Yes anxiety does creates a problem . Atleast for me best things have come in life when I am not expecting anything. In Hinduism , there is a philosophy of ' niskaam karma' that means giving efforts without any expectations. This will help you to be free from worries and detached from results.
160 was good when LC had 200 questions. now that it’s at 1500 or whatever, you gotta at least do a third
Say what? You don’t believe in diminishing returns?
I think 160 LC problem is really not enough if you want to get offers from top tier companies, unless you are super lucky or you are smart enough so you don’t need to practice a lot compared with others
You also need to be able to handle pressure well and be good in time management. It only comes from these real interviews and mocks. I failed first few of my interviews pretty embarrassingly too. But now going to G
Been there. Keep your head up.. That's why you gotta apply to many places. It's a numbers game, and eventually you'll get questions that play to your strengths
This is what I’m hoping for, if only I can get more callbacks lol
An advice - when you have scheduled online assessment test, try solving problems on same time daily, till test day.
Online assessment questions are always harder than in person interviews I've found. Probably to weed out as many people as possible without too much company investment. I passed MS and FB interviews and failed "lower tier" companies. All you can do is Leetcode and learn from your mistakes and accept that everything else if out of your control.
