Hi All,

I am going to do a phone screen with Airbnb in 2 weeks time for a software engineering role. I have done about 50 leetcode medium, 30 easy and 10 hard. I have read about 100 problems to see different techniques in many categories of problems.

I am planning to now solve all airbnb tagged questions in leetcode. Any other tips to crack the phone sceen? I heard airbnb interviews are very hard.

  • Have a pending offer from Airbnb and did the phone interview and onsite recently. Keep in mind that Airbnb requires your code to compile, run, and pass test cases. Which is very different from many other companies. Make sure you don’t just practice white board.

    I don't think I've got an LC question in ps. I did get a couple of LC hard on-site though. Be prepared to write optimized bug free working code. You will have to run and test it. And be prepared the interviewers are highly likely to stay silent for most of the time. Don't expect hints.
    Coding rounds are generally much harder than LI staff coding.

  • I heard LinkedIn interview is one of the hardest. How much did you prepare before working at LinkedIn? You already have a better starting point. I think that could be good enough but a bit of luck. You should not have a bug in the code and will be judged by people with 1 yoe.

    • Wow that is impressive. I am pretty sure Microsoft offer will be the lowest lol. Can you share how much preparation you had done? Like number of leetcode question and whether you practiced the same question multiple times. Bless us with your wisdom, sensei!

  • Core values interviews are equally important at Airbnb.
