FB phone interview
I have recently taken the facebook phone interview . For the first question I could come with the correct solution , explained it and interviewer was okay with the complexity. Implemented with one edge case missing and probably one assumption that I was not able to convey. Was able to solve the edge case on explicitly giving the test case. For the second question , i was not able to focus on requirement clarification although asked 2 3 requiremnent clarification questions. I went straight to the solution after telling the approach . I took some hints from the interviewer but at the end he was okay with the approach. I was able to write the code but was not able to dry run. What do you guys think would be the result ? My recruiter is on leave so will have to wait quite a long time for result. Edit : selected
Good Luck OP! 👍 Were they High Frequency FB tagged questions on Leetcode?
No , I had to think of the solution in the interview . I dont leetcode much , maybe that I need to improve . But I know these questions are not on leetcode high frequency.
Okay. Got it. Thanks for the reply
If you don’t get a response in 48 hours, it’s a lost cause. Recruiter being in leave is irrelevant. Someone would reach out to you.
Oh is it ? I have given the interview today , I will wait till day after tomorrow . Lets see .
What do you think of the result ?
OP, is LC effective? Did u see already solved LC questions?
No
But practice I think obviously help to code faster.
Probably not selected but you never know! I got both of my phone screen questions almost perfect. But for the second my initial solution was O(2N) and after a hint I got the O(N). Still rejected.
Then I am sure , I wont be selected 😅
It mostly depends on the interviewer at that point.
Don’t say “give”. You did not give anything!
For the phone interview questions, Did you have to know any specific advanced algorithms for any of the questions or just data structures?
Normal data structure
@SOyO20 - I am in the same situation. First question was good. second was leetcode hard, took time to come up with approach. Was able to code it with interviewer help. For Dryrun got only 1 min, could not finish dry-run. Just dryrun with mental state of code, instead of actual code. Later found some bug in code. What do you think about this ?
Hopefully u will get selected, but id assume otherwise
