Uber and Linkedin Onsites

Hey Blind, I have two on-sites in two weeks with Uber and Linkedin for SE2/senior positions. I have solved 70% of the Leetcode problems for both companies and studied a book for system design and watched a couple of videos on youtube. Any advice on the remaining of the preparations? Also, if you have experience with the two companies, how are the interviews/cultures are different from each other? I am a Ph.D. grad, 3 YOE, and no job so I have all the time in the world :). I am also waiting for the results of my interviews with G and FB.

Make sure you nailed parallel parking in the lot at least 45min before the loop. That will impress Uber even more than Lyft.

Also very useful since you won’t find parking at LinkedIn.

Mock interviews. As many as you can.

How do you usually do mock interviews?

Pramp. Also try Blind - you might find someone here. If you're in the Bay Area or Seattle, meetup

Should I reapply? My phd research was on shortest path and route planning, I was surprised that they rejected me right away
