Hey all you amazing developers,
I am about to schedule a technical round with Stripe and have a lot of questions.
What time line is good to prepare for the technical round ?
What exactly do I expect ? - I get a lot of answers saying it’s real world problems but that is a bit vague. How do I prepare for it ? They say no LC but in some blogs I do see some LC String problems.
Also what is a good timeline to prepare for all rounds ?
Where can I get mock interviews for this company specifically ? Is anyone willing to take a mock interview ?
YOE: 5
Current TC: 🥜🥜
Really need to switch jobs current pay and team is the worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. 🙏

Coding round is the same.
Debugging round is when you are presented with an unfamiliar repo and a GitHub issue. Find the bug and fix it if you can.
Integration round is stitching together some REST APIs to produce the expected results.
Behavioral round with manager for fit/leadership/etc.
If you are applying for Frontend, you have an interactive UI component round.
If you are applying for full stack, you could choose the UI round or opt for a system design round.
If you are applying for back end or infra, you go through a system design round.
TBH, you can only realistically prepare for coding and system design… other rounds would be easy if you already do them at your job… but they will be incredibly difficult if you are not exposed to them day-to-day.
I didn’t get APIs for coding rounds. But integration rounds kinda need APIs to be meaningful.
Lastly I was told to prioritize progress over optimal solution. So if you have been LC med/hard then you will be okay :)
