Hey, Congrats on the mastercard offer! I have the first round interview in 2 days and I am trying to prep the best I can for it. For your technical interview, was it more focused towards ds and how did you go about to prep for the interview?

young steeple Sep 12, 2022, 5:04 PM

#

yeah it was just leetcode

#

didnt have to run my code though

#

i got a pretty common hard but my interviewer was pretty forgiving

dense barn Sep 12, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

it was on notepad right? like you just code and talk through the solution?

young steeple Sep 12, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

yeah they had me open up an editor on my laptop and share my screen

dense barn Sep 12, 2022, 5:05 PM

#

congrats! how does the work location selection process look like?

young steeple Sep 12, 2022, 6:11 PM

#

recruiter told me they had arlington and st louis open rn

#

but could put me on a waitlist for sf nyc or boston

#

waitlists arent too long rn

#

they basically just asked me about location when i had the offer call and told me that

north falcon Sep 12, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

What does the offer look like, if you don't mind sharing? Plus how long did they give you to accept/decline?

young steeple Sep 12, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

sure nw

#

offer was 155k tc for arlington pre-negotiation

#

they gave me 2 weeks

#

i didnt have like anyone i was waiting for on the nyc waitlist though, recruiter seemed willing to adjust offer to wait on locations

young steeple offer was 155k tc for arlington pre-negotiation

Wow, that's good! Can you give a breakdown of TC (base/bonus/etc)?

young steeple Sep 12, 2022, 7:55 PM

#

105k base, 40k signon, 10% yearly bonus (i assumed just of base so 10.5k)

#

yearly bonus can go up or down depending on individ effort and team effort but recruiter said usually around 10%

@young steeple hey man. had some questions and tried to dm, but it seems like u are only taking DMs from friends according to discord. is there anyway for me to DM if that is okay? Sry to at you

young steeple Oct 4, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

can u ask here? ill field most questions besides asking abt what specific questions i was asked in the interview

young steeple can u ask here? ill field most questions besides asking abt what specific questi...

Just wanted elaboration on what to expect on an OOD type question because I never had one before. what do they want to hear you think, and best way to prepare. I have a final in a few days and just wanna make I do my best is all. Thanks in advance

young steeple Oct 5, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

sure, ood just means they give u a problem and u pseudocode a solution with objects and classes

#

they also did some real world questions w the problem i was solving, asking what kind of issues i anticipated and stuff

#

all in all its not hard just be thorough and explain well

jovial jewel Oct 5, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

young steeple sure, ood just means they give u a problem and u pseudocode a solution with obje...

so basically just be able to represent sometihng as an object/class based on a description? And about the issues to anticipate, im not sure how I would approach that side from performance/time complexity issues. Is it okay if I ask what kinds of issue you considerd, or is tha too specific.

Again, tysm for responding!

young steeple Oct 5, 2022, 11:26 PM

#

its like real world issues

#

like if they want u to make like uhh (made up example) a car parking ticketing system u could be like well maybe the receipts could get dirty and the scanner could have issues reading the barcode to find what parking ticket this is

#

that ones hard to find a fix to but generally like yeah theyll ask what u could do to mitigate stuff like that (no code, just say like oh there would be an alert saying receipt is unreadable contact a rep or smth)

jovial jewel Oct 5, 2022, 11:31 PM

#

makes sense. Any way you have practiced OOD? Dont see a tag for it on leetcode although i have ran across problems like that(i.ee LRU Cache

young steeple Oct 5, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

hmm nah not really

#

u dont have to code anything

#

just have to be like id make an object, itd have these fields, and they would be used to do this algorithm

jovial jewel Oct 5, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

i see

young steeple Oct 5, 2022, 11:32 PM

#

its rlly like mini system design moreso than leetcode

jovial jewel Oct 5, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

makes makes sense. if that the case then i think i feel good about my chances with that

#

just got that and the behavioral, didnt have behavioral in my first teeams meeting.

#

hopely i pull through

#

young steeple Oct 5, 2022, 11:34 PM
