I've started interviewing at SpaceX for a Starlink position and received a 4 hour take home test to be coded in python or C++ which I will be completing shortly. Assuming all is good with that, the next steps are a call with an engineer and then on sites. I've been at my current position over a year and got hired even though I gave a bruteforce solution during the coding interview with no optimization at all. I hadn't even studied many DS&A and did zero leetcode at that time. This time around I've been studying leetcode and DS&A but I'm only a week into my studies and didn't expect to get any interviews for at least a month or two. Is it even worth trying to go forward with the SpaceX interview with such little leetcode/DS&A experience? Also I'm already aware of the work life balance and everything SpaceX entails but I'm still interested in joining them. #spacex
Our questions are not from leetcode and I think the time limits are generous partially so you don't have to grind leetcode to have that quick muscle memory. Some of our 1+hr time limit projects can be done in an hour, but I can't speak for all. Talk to recruiter
I interviewed with them and as the SpaceX person said, they’re not asking Leetcode. The questions I did were all very practical and related to SpaceX. Some weren’t even programming but more conceptual design. I think their interview process was actually pretty good.
Figure out how to provide Iran w/ internet during their black out and protests and you'll be hired

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
I think it's worth it. Give it a shot, if anything it'll be a learning experience for future interviews. Worst they can say is no!
