[brave anvil]

[fierce mason]

[clear magnet]

they mightve been

prev duolingo final

[merry relic]

no oops I didn’t fill it out

[oblique axle]

U schedule a retake and it auto cancels if u pass

[merry relic]

ok bet

A note from your recruiter:
"Hi, We received your request to schedule a re-do with Karat. We are in the process of reviewing your exercise and a member of the Duolingo University team will be reaching out to you shortly regarding potential next steps."

oh fuck

what does that mean

i can't redo?

"Per Duolingo’s interview settings, you do not need to complete a Redo. If you have any questions or feel this is an error, please contact your recruiter."

@oblique axle any insights

[split tinsel]

Maybe duolingo has it so that u only can do a redo if u don’t get the lc q?

@clear magnet my interviewers name starts with an a

[merry relic]

bruh ...

[oblique axle]

U passed congrats

[split tinsel]

nice job !

[clear magnet]

[clear magnet]

27th

[oblique axle]

@clear magnet what was ur codesignal

[clear magnet]

570

kinda surprised

didnt expect to make it w/o 600

[oblique axle]

[crisp lodge]

i did HORRIBLY on the codesignal i'm so nervous for the karat 😭

[clear magnet]

what did u get on codesignal

[orchid prairie]

@merry relic you only got one coding question right?

[merry relic]

ye

[crisp lodge]

423 🤡 worst codesignal score i've gotten thus far

was fully expecting rejection

my karat is tmrw everyone pray 4 me

[split tinsel]

gl !!!!!

[clear magnet]

gllllllllllll

[orchid prairie]

i thought karat asks three coding questions 🤔

Maybe it's different for duolingo

[merry relic]

ye I asked my dude he said it was only one question

whole time I was panicking abt only doing 1/3 quesitons

[orchid prairie]

Damn I hope that's the case for everyone else

or maybe you got a really lucky interviewer lol

[orchid prairie]

gl! let us know how it goes

[oblique axle]

that's wild

they changed it easie

i mean they made it easier

for passing my walmart karat i only needed 1 question

[slate vapor]

@clear magnet did you go for RTC?

[clear magnet]

Ya

i think everyone whos gotten oa / phone was either at RTC or their ny/sf event

[orchid prairie]

yeah sf event

[slate vapor]

I see

[crisp lodge]

got 2/3 concept questions and didn't quite finish the coding so i scheduled a redo 💀 it wasn't too bad tho i just blanked on some straightforward stuff

i had the right approach for the coding i just forgot how to code lowkey 😭

my interviewer was super chill too i'm sad i won't have him again 😦

[orchid prairie]

Was it one coding question

[crisp lodge]

yes

[oblique axle]

they don't allow u to move on to the next question if u don't finish the first question tho

[crisp lodge]

the guy said at the beginning it would be one question lol

[orchid prairie]

Wait I'm confused now lol

[orchid prairie]

What were the concept questions like? How should I prepare for them

[crisp lodge]

basically just like general knowledge/time complexity they're not bad at all i just blanked on one

[orchid prairie]

ohhh gotcha, ty. and what was the coding question like if you dont mind me asking? was it backtracking or something

[crisp lodge]

i'll just say it was a lc med, and when i explained my approach before i coded the interviewer said it was good so i just couldn't quite get the actual coding

but it was like pretty straightforward

[orchid prairie]

alright thanks!
