dang congrats

#

is ur phone screen the lc one?

clear spear Nov 10, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

phone screen was fill-in-the-blank OOP, and "write a SQL query that does <this>"; onsite had "build a react component that looks like <this>", "find the bug in this program", and LC med/hard

#

but I've heard other people got LC in phone screen round

#

geeks4geeks classifies it a medium... i thought it was kinda hard lol https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/nearly-sorted-algorithm/

wow thanks a ton!

#

wym fill-in-the-blank OOP?

clear spear Nov 10, 2022, 3:39 AM

#

like they have this "Playlist" class and a "Track" class, and u want to increment the track's time counter according to some rules. They leave a bunch of methods empty and want you to fill them in

#

oh lol bet thanks

#

how hard was the sql query ones

#

and how would u recommend prepping for that

clear spear Nov 10, 2022, 4:27 AM

#

uhhh it was just basic JOIN clauses, GROUP BY, WITH, and stuff like that

#

i don't think i solved it optimally (fewest lines of code) but they passed me so i guess it just needs to pass the test cases

#

it's all done through codesignal, so if you can find example codesignal phone interviews (not general coding assessment) online then that's probs a good thing to study

@clear spear was this the 4 hour interview one

naive sedge Nov 10, 2022, 4:58 AM

#

clear spear phone screen was fill-in-the-blank OOP, and "write a SQL query that does <this>"...

how much react was there? Was it react hooks + state management? Did they ask for like async, rest, rerender optimization etc.

clear spear Nov 10, 2022, 6:30 AM

#

nono, just basic build a component that fetches some data with useEffect and saves it in state with useState

#

and then displays it

#

and then afterwards, add a little <p>Loading...</p> if it's loading
