[merry orchid]

[verbal meteor]

[flat plank]

Not yet

[flat plank]

[merry orchid]

Wait so does the portal change to complete indicate an incoming offer? I'm trying not to get too excited lol

[flat plank]

If a recruiter emails you and says you got the offer it means an incoming offer

[merry orchid]

Ah makes sense

[silk hemlock]

did you have any competing offers?

[flat plank]

a couple, yes

[verbal meteor]

do they ask for proof of the competing offer?

I'm asking cause I got a return offer from my internship last summer

but I already signed on to it. I was just gonna renege if I got microsoft

I did tell them tho that I had a competing offer just so I could speed things up

[flat plank]

They didn’t ask for me

But I also mentioned like 5 so ymmv

Prolly won’t ask for proof

[verbal meteor]

alright thank you!

[feral karma]

I had my microsoft phone interview last week. How do I start preparing for final interviews

the recruiter told me if selected in phone interview there would be 3-5 interviews

[flat plank]

that's wrong

only 2 for swe intern

[feral karma]

oh really she told me that

[feral karma]

how is the interview like. how should i start my preparation

[flat plank]

it's just lc

I didn't really prep for my interviews this season so prolly not the best person to ask

Last time I prepped I did blind 75

[feral karma]

is the blind 75 enough to crack microsoft did that work for u

[flat plank]

I haven't prepped since so yeah

I got the offer so I would assume so

[feral karma]

Thank you so much

Lmk if you have anymore qs

If you have competing offers let them know, they’ll speed your process up

[feral karma]

I have interviewed for barclays and adp waiting for result

[flat plank]

If you did well on the Amazon OA, msft should be p ez for you

It’s still rng but the first q I got was easier than lc easy and second was lc med

[verbal meteor]

@flat plank I heard they ask some basic technical questions in the phone interview. did this happen to you?

like explaining what multithreading is or some overview technical questions like that?

[flat plank]

yes

[verbal meteor]

ah alright, damn I gotta brush up on my technical knowledge

I don't think I could explain those concepts that well ngl

[little sigil]

[flat plank]

[ionic bison]

[flat plank]

[ionic bison]

[verbal meteor]

Did you get LC mediums or easy?

[flat plank]

[verbal meteor]

Was the medium more of an east medium or difficult medium?
