I have a technical phone screen set up a month or so from now. I've been practicing all kinds of problems. Mostly on leetcode. Easy, medium and a few hard ones here and there. I have also been doing mock interviews on pramp. What else can I do to prepare? What does Airbnb look for at this stage?

    One tip - less around technical prep but culture fit and honestly, it's less imp for the phone screen but more for the onsite.

    Airbnb is pretty big on culture-fit: look up their company values and think about examples that demonstrate those values. At a high-level, they care about prospective employees being 'good hosts' - people who treat others well; believe in thinking through details; delight; going the extra mile; generally good people.

    For the PS: def prep for 3 questions

    - why Airbnb? Tie it to being pumped about their mission; opportunity for having impact.

    - what makes someone a good Airbnb host? (Similar to my notes about)

    - how would you describe Airbnb in 1-2 sentences? Make your answer about the community that Airbnb brings together; don't just say it's a transaction platform for booking accommodation (while factually right it makes it less tied to the mission)

    Are the tech interview questions mostly Lc hard or medium or mix? Are they mostly from the airbnb collection of questions I hear is available online ?
