Hi all, I'd most appreciate any advice on the Final Round for the Twitter SWE Internship. Apparently, there's a coding round and a data structures round, and I have no idea what the differences are. Thanks! #twitter
Good luck! I’d also really focus on showing a positive and collaborative attitude, that goes a long way especially with interns. I didn’t solve my problem correctly when I did my internship interview, but that didn’t matter that much. As long as you show passion, ask questions, make it collaborative, communicate well what you’re thinking and what you’re having issues with, and connect with the interviewers I think it’s going to be fine. No idea about the coding and data structures distinction.
Jeeze, how many rounds do we make you go through for an internship? And the difference should be the coding round is more about problem solving (alg) and the ds is more about leveraging a particular data structure (given a tree, given a matrix, given a linked list, etc.)
OA then straight to a 3-hour final round (behavioral, coding, ds). No phone round (thank god). Can you really separate out the data structure from the algos? Seems weird to me.
Amazon would do the same thing. Honestly, it's pretty common for them to overlap in problem space. It's basically just two coding rounds, you prepare for them the same way, really
