#

Where is this special link I’ve been hearing about

carmine sequoia
#

you just took the interview?

#

I think virtual one is a bit harder than on campus

carmine sequoia
#

I heard if it's on campus, would be very quick

lavish drift
#

True

carmine sequoia
#

do you mind sharing it's 6-month tagged or 1-year tagged?

lavish drift
#

😆actually someone said this tag in previous thread

#

Oh no it is not tagged actually😅

#

Just checked

carmine sequoia
#

did one or two?

wind ember
#

sorry to bother but wondering when you applied

lavish drift
#

One the interviewer said he only prepared one

lavish drift
wind ember
#

odd basin
lavish drift
#

#

#

🥹he said he failed

#

Oh is it? Okay I didn't see it in tagged q tho

hoary pewter
lavish drift
#

Yeah you r right boss

#

Word break2 with just a bit change

hoary pewter
#

Ultra instinct

lavish drift
#

Anyway it is difficult as he wants some math for complexity analysis and I would say I probably failed it

#

Solved in like 5 min tho

#

Zd

#

🥹anyone knows how long it takes for a reject to your email

hoary pewter
#

That’s unfortunate, do they care that much about the complexity?

lavish drift
#

I don't know

#

I heard others typically got easy and medium and don't ask much for time complexity

hoary pewter
#

I mean if u solved a hard in 5 min I feel like it would be harsh to reject u but idk

lavish drift
#

Word break2 does not deserve a hard

hoary pewter
#

I’ve heard some ppl spend the entire interview on a medium and still pass

lavish drift
#

🥹it is quite simple

#

It is just math for complexity is pain

carmine sequoia
lavish drift
#

I don't know how to approach it

#

Yeah it is virtual

carmine sequoia
#

I thought there would be no interviews this week b/c of ghc

lavish drift
#

If you apply via the link you got some chance picked by recruiter that targets your school I think

#

The chance isn't too high tho

#

It is like full RNG

carmine sequoia
#

did you get reached out?

lavish drift
#

No

#

Cold apply

carmine sequoia
#

cool

trail mist
#

What did you put down as referral?

lavish drift
#

I think it is campus event

#

Or something

#

I forgot

trail mist
#

mmm, i feel like that might have something to do with it too. Like if you were part of a legit campus event, recruiter gave specific instructions on what to type for the referral

#

At least mine did

lavish drift
#

🥹fake it

#

Mine is from cmu

#

But I m not a cmu student

#

Anyway if you apply via link the content of interview seems harder than on campus in general

#

All qs I saw for on campus are just very standard easy to mid

trail mist
#

so you didnt give any analysis for time complexity?

lavish drift
#

I gave

#

But he isn't satisfied

#

Then later we analyze it together

#

He gave many hints

#

Then I reached something he feels ok

#

Ask for follow up

#

Then end

#

Majority of the interview was spent on complexity actually

trail mist
#

did u run thru ur thought process? finishing a hard in 5min is impressive, but it matters more that you explained everything, even if it takes you 20min to answer the problem

#

From what I understand, Bloomberg prefers Communication > Quickness. Albeit, you should still aim for correctness.

lavish drift
#

Yeah true

#

He kept asking me to clarify

#

Maybe because we are not native speaker of English to it takes sometime for us to communicate

#

😆honestly word break2 is probably one of the easiest hards out there but still it gets tricky when they ask for complexity

#

He gives his hints and I answer back with some recurrence

#

He feels OK then we move to follow up

trail mist
#

Was it just one question for your call?

lavish drift
#

He said yes he expect candidate to only answer one

#

Maybe that is why he had a hard

#

He said he prepared no more than that

carmine sequoia
#

How accurate the interviewer required? Did it suffice to answer it roughly? say polynomial, exponential or factorial?

lavish drift
#

I said something close to correct answer at first

#

N 2toN

#

Yet he wants more detailed analysis

#

Then you have to go recurrence

#

Which is painful

carmine sequoia
#

Gotcha, I think you are good

#

await good news then

lavish drift
#

Honestly I feel the same for my databricks phone

#

And I failed it

#

Xd

#

Quite similar process

carmine sequoia
#

who knows

lavish drift
#

A hard followed by weird complexity analysis

#

Anyway if any of you are preparing for phone

#

Tag q is your best friend

#

Good luck

carmine sequoia
#

I got an email saying my resume is still under review

lavish drift
#

🥹you need your campus recruiter to pay attention I guess

#

Our school luckily have a recruiter who is picking resumes for phone

#

Me and another guy got picked

#

He is doing his phone next week

carmine sequoia
#

jealous of you have plenty of time to prepare

#

I heard some one got invitation just one or two days ahead

lavish drift
#

Yeah if it is on campus

#

But the advantage is that you move quick and in general it is easier than virtual

carmine sequoia
#

hopefully
