i have a couple of interviews lined up and i noticed the phone screen and even the on site questions range from super easy LC medium questions to fucking punch in the face hard questions. does it have to do with them liking you? or the size of the company? does the team matter? product v platform? im mostly applying to senior eng roles, trying to figure maximise my chances of getting my next gig
Think it’s mainly to do with interviewer. Same experience as you though
Yep, a lot of it is just luck of the draw. Some interviewers give you linked list problems, others graph traversal and DP.
"FANGMULA" is a dumb acronym that a cringey YouTuber made up because he couldn't get into FAANG, so he had to make up a new acronym that would include the company he did get into.
Just got a community guidelines notice for this post, can you not curse on here?
Interviewing is a crapshoot.
Companies focus on different things. Google is about being above average on smartness, Amazon is about their LPs, FB is about being fast and bold, etc. Different cultures, therefore different ways to hire people.
