I have an interview coming up with Oracle for SDE3 and recruiter doesn't ask me for a hacker rank test first. He has directly scheduled an interview (zoom call) with a director. I'm rather curious what's expected out of me in the call? Will the director share a coder pad and I've to code or we discuss system design? I'm new to this, your insights will help #engineering #software #swe .
By the way, is it an unspoken custom that SDE3 and above will not need a hacker rank/hacker earth test first? 2 of my previous interviews (out of 2) with other companies had it.
Depends on interviewer to interviewer. Usually theres a live coding session and also include design discussions. Directors usually focus on behavioral, resume and your communication skills. You will probably have another round with an engineer from the team which would definitely be more technical and surely involve a coderpad round. Keep in mind that In Oracle people usually tend to ask leetcode easy/medium questions

No, what that recruiter meant for SDE 3 is IC3 which is really a 61-62 equivalent at Microsoft
Ic3 is more like sde 2. New grads come in as ic2
