In addition, how did you think you did (on each step)? @tawny plover

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

did pretty well except on hiring manager interview. Decomp was quite weak for that round

#

recruiter call: 22sept
onsite: 20th october
final: 9th November
rejected 2 days later

#

What does the HM consist of? Is it just a behavioral?

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:42 PM

#

depends what you did weaker on in the onsite

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:42 PM

#

Interesting...., so in your case I assume it was a behvaioral based on what you said

#

Also what stages can you get rejected at?

#

inland summit Also what stages can you get rejected at?

at any stage

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:43 PM

#

And then as for the technical questions, what would you say their difficulty was?

#

And did you get any dynamic programming questions at all

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:43 PM

#

didn't get asked any coding questions in onsite or hm

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:44 PM

#

Huh

#

What kinds of questions did you get asked then?

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

onsite was learning + decomp

#

hm was behavioural + decomp

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

Ok two additional questions

#

What do you mean by 'learning'? Like learning a new language?

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

learning a concept

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

And similarly, what do you mean by 'decomp'?

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:46 PM

#

decomp is high level sys design

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:46 PM

#

Ah, like design patterns?

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:46 PM

#

no, they give an open ended problem and you come up with a solution

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:47 PM

#

Oh interesting

#

Never have had something like that before, is there anything in particular that you would do to prep for these? It doesn't really sound like leetcode is effective here. And did you get a language choice?

#

Also thanks for answering all of my questions thus far

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

you can prep with system design primer on github. For learning, I got options of Java, Python and TypeScript

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:49 PM

#

Alright thanks. Last thing for the time being

#

Was the karat pretty much bfs/dfs?

#

And how well did you do on it

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:49 PM

#

got 3/3 on karat. all 3 questions were graphs. I think I solved them with bfs

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:50 PM

#

Difficulty wise was it easy, med, med-hard?

#

Or something along those lines, if we are thinking in terms of leetcode equivalence

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

first one was lc easy. 2nd and 3rd was lc med

inland summit Nov 18, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

Understood thanks for all your time mind if I dm if I have further questions?

tawny plover Nov 18, 2022, 1:54 PM

#

yeah, no worries

lyric reef Nov 18, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

just curious but is the HM scheduling THAT backlogged? A month gap between the on-site and the hm????

tawny plover Nov 19, 2022, 12:29 AM

#

Edited message

lyric reef Nov 19, 2022, 12:48 AM

#

Ah that seems more reasonable lol

#

Seems like still a decent gap

tawny plover Nov 19, 2022, 1:10 AM

#

This is for London

rustic breach Nov 20, 2022, 2:06 AM
