Anyone here ever pass an interview after getting the entire jist of the problem correct but not writing down the code for it because the interviewer says "you got the problem correct now let's move onto the next part"
Part of me thinks he threw me under the bus by not letting me finish the code but idk

Anyone here ever pass an interview after getting the entire jist of the problem ...
I did 👀

no time?
runic tinsel
In feedback, it's easy to just say "did not finish the problem on time, slow problem solver"
runic tinsel
No I meant the interviewer's feedback to the HM
ionic rune
Did you actually run out of time or was your interviewer satisfied? I think that's the difference
runic tinsel
For some reason I feel like people intentionally want to fail me
So this was the second part of a 60 min final round
First question was probability
Second was a leetcode DP which I got correct (like the base case and the other subproblem update case correct) and then he asked about how to avoid using the 2D dp grid and I said do it all in place, which he said was correct. Then he said "Ok you got the jist of this let's move to the ML part" and then the 2nd interviewer started interviewing me
ionic rune
Oh that doesn't sound bad at all. Cause it was just a follow up question. He didn't even ask or expect you to code it.
runic tinsel
Oh that doesn't sound bad at all. Cause it was just a follow up question. He did...
They covered a lot (probability, leetcode, ML trivia, behavioral) but still, would've given me piece of mind to finish the code (3-4 lines remaining) but thank god I wrote down the dp equation

okay i have explanations tho (it was for shpe btw)
first, I've helped the community a lot over the past years (volunteer work, etc), I look more hispanic than Asian, and I didn't even apply to the conference
I think they picked up my resume from the database last year (when I did went)
I'm like 70% sure the reason I got an offer was cuz they probably had a quota to hire from that conference and couldn't make it kekw
Cuz many of the people in the snap discord have fb+snap+stripe+etc and come from t10

I think the best rejection I've gotten was from Palantir
They sent me an email then at the end they were like "Hey, if you want to schedule a time for feedback, fill out this form here for your availability"
Then Palantir recruiter talked to me for 30 minutes on what I did well and what I didn't do well

idk too much abt their coop program, but it seems that if u get internship (for swe) youre on even ground
et different for other fields (generic example is bio; go to different climste to study)
is diff of 40k/yr
total diff
umass 30k
neu 70k
idk
i think neu as a school overall stronger
but for swe slightly weaker
ionic bronze
prestige doesn't matter tbh
lilac cloak
it's not on a tier where like
prestige is a factor imo
neither id tsrget
so doesnt rly matter
lilac cloak
it is but I don't think 40k diff is worth it lol
yeah thats whst i figured
still tryna peek into the coop program and hoe it works
it's more like 160k to not have compounding interest on in debt
lilac cloak
like i go to umass and got amason somehoe
unsure if like
how strongly neu eould benefit me
last summer was fidelity
good place, but would prefer not going back if i can

I go to a COOP university right now. And the biggest difference is when you apply for coop through your school, the jobs you are applying for are specific for your uni and you won’t have any outside competition. Which can be good when applying to bigger companies.

and apple looks like also doesnt

i think a lot of companies rn are random non-tech f500's
don't quote me bc i stopped searching
but you could look towards those bc they generally have a easier process
abstract wagon
the fact that lc isnt asked for security roles when security engineers write the same amount of code shows its pnly purpose is to filter out applicants
not to see how prepared you are for the job

I have an interview with Facebook tomorrow afternoon and I have to do a CodeSignal assessment tonight. I've only been preparing for the past week because I honestly didn't think I was going to get any interviews at this point for summer internships and I've been struggling with even most easy LC questions. I know I'll likely bomb the interview, but does anyone have any advice for me before I have my interview?

@tiny totem grind more LC / binarysearch
my FB phone interview and final round were all technical, no behavioral. they jump right into coding and their feedback will be based on the LC q
tiny totem
<@!297541171247579136> grind more LC / binarysearch
I've been doing LC questions as much as I can for the past week, but I end up almost always looking at the solution because I struggle to figure it out on my own.
I know I'll probably bomb it, but I want to give it the best shot I can, at least.
Getting the interview was a huge surprise to me, so I wasn't preparing for it prior to getting invited to the interview.
My mistake
An fwiw it is a video call interview, not a phone interview, though that likely doesn't really change anything.

are u a junior?
tiny totem
Kinda? I'm a third year taking sophomore level CS classes and still have two more full years before I graduate.
So I do have another summer to try to get an internship if I don't get one this year.
cedar sentinel
ah then ur cs classes shouldve covered some of the lc content
at least with linkedlist, graphs, trees, dfs/bfs
tiny totem
This is my first semester taking CS classes since autumn 2019 (for various reasons I don't care to explain here), so yes I did learn about those things but I don't remember them very well.
cedar sentinel
ah well ig the best thing you can do now is keep practicing, and if you fail it, then learn from ur mistakes
tiny totem
Yeah, I figured. I guess I just have to hope I get lucky.
I'm not going into it expecting to move on. It'll just be a bonus if I do.
I will probably be a bit upset if/when I get rejected, though.

does hackerrank track alt tabs in the case i forget some syntax
abstract wagon
Sorry to bother you again but I am really nervous that I will prepare incorrectly. Is there a specific type of security? I've had a wide range of experiences with security interviews - should I expect more like an Apple SWE intern interview with algorithms/data structures or scripting problem?
Any information would be helpful.
I think it's dependent on the companys challenge, but i don't think snowflake tracked tabs
depends*

i have the team match and needs to do screenign with the manaager
as 1st interview
which is supposed to be behaviorial and technical (based on resume)
how to give my best shot ? Anyone who has done any tips ?

should i renege amazon for a small company in security research
i want to go into security research but i dont know if im missing out on the big name
people saying what you did is more important than big name
and i think exp in security would help for fb, google and spacex next time when i interview
pray for apple security
every big name company rejected me so far for security
so i can get name and relevant exp
imo security requires more experience since a company wants to know you can find things
when i added exp it made a big diff this year
ok amazon it is
propel training
i was able to land google, fb, spacex, amazon, apple security interviews
however i was underprepared since ive never worked in it before and never took a course in it
udemy courses are kind of ass
ive done some courses by other universities online but its not the same as a physical class where you have time
online courses that arent from professors or experts in the field are usually ass
but issue im having is not knowing enough rather than landing interviews
pliant hawk
udemy aint half bad 
abstract wagon
Unfortunately, the hiring manager has asked me not to share any other information regarding the interview as he wants to see how you think/respond in the moment.
I want to reassure you that the hiring manager feels your background and previous experience could be a good fit for this opportunity so don’t worry too much about over preparing.
so no leetcode just interviewer grilling me with any possible question he can think of
