[fickle linden]

Any update? I just got essays Qs today

[spiral nebula]

@fickle linden I submitted my essay questions like a 2 weeks ago and nothing back yet. Asked if I was rejected and they said not yet lol..

[fickle linden]

Gonna be a long time waiting then

[grizzled sand]

waiting to hear back after 1st round

[fickle linden]

LC hard I assume?

gl tho hopefully next round soon

[grizzled sand]

it wasnt leetcode

it was technical but testing your algorithm analysis skills

and a lil more on the practical side too

[fickle linden]

oh wow that’s interesting asf

any practice tips? or just be as sharp as u can with algos

[grizzled sand]

if u already took an algorithms class u should be good

but also the interviewer can just ask u whatever they want too lol

[fickle linden]

LOL fair enough ty tho

[grizzled sand]

its 6 rounds

[exotic prawn]

They told you that? Sounds about right lol. I interviewed w them for SWE and got four rounds in. Also, their retail position was 6 rounds when I worked for them.

[grizzled sand]

your recruiter tells u that info once you get past the essay round

[fickle linden]

might drop dead before the process is over holy smokes

[spiral nebula]

Yuppp just got the same email explaining. Total of 6 rounds. 4 technical 2 behavioral style it seems.

[fickle linden]

Wtf I just got told it was 5 rounds

3 technical 2 behavioral

[grizzled sand]

Yeahhh ig I counted the essay as one round lol

[fickle linden]

Oh LOL no worries

Have u done the interview where u get to choose between the questions yet?

[grizzled sand]

nah thats my next one, do u have it coming up too?

[fickle linden]

I’m just scheduling first round, that’s the one I’m most worried about

[grizzled sand]

oh i mean u dont get to next rounds without passing the 1st one so i wouldnt worry about it just yet

[fickle linden]

I’m super rusty at leetcode and moved onto the interviews faster than I anticipated

[grizzled sand]

i was in the same spot lol but dw first round isnt leetcode

[fickle linden]

yea I’m not too worried abt first 2

anything to look out for?

[grizzled sand]

no i feel like its pretty basic, im certain u have all the knowledge u need for it already

[fickle linden]

bet that eases my mind a bit

gl with the next round tho 🙏 hopefully after that the behaviorals are cake
