AYO no way bruh i just realized who you are 😭 why are you here

buoyant timber Oct 25, 2023, 5:36 AM

#

congrats man! what were the tech rounds like? lc medium/hard etc?

strong sluice Oct 25, 2023, 5:37 AM

#

honestly the tech rounds were more difficult than i was expecting, i got an offer for intern last year and they just asked really standard lc meds, this year they asked me all custom questions which were on the more difficult side

#

lc med, lc med-hard/hard-ish pretty much

buoyant timber Oct 25, 2023, 5:39 AM

#

ahh oki, the recruiter also said they expect the candidate to solve 2-3 qs in each 45-min round and I was like.. :0

Holy shit bro what’s up

#

what's the karat interview like? any different from normal tech rounds?

strong sluice Oct 25, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

LOL yeah each question started off with like a lc easy/med base and then they shifted the problem constraints to make it more difficult

strong sluice Oct 25, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

lament terrace Holy shit bro what’s up

buoyant timber what's the karat interview like? any different from normal tech rounds?

i got to skip karat cause i passed it last year for them, but its pretty standard, what i had last year was lc easy, lc med, lc hard (lc med was word search, lc hard was a more complicated version of word search 2)

#

one of my friends did it this year and solved the first one and mostly solved the second one, and ended up moving forward! so i think if you get around the 2 question mark youre good to move on

buoyant timber Oct 25, 2023, 5:42 AM

#

ooo okay

#

thanks a ton man! and biggg congrats on landing this, the culture + perks look amazing

strong sluice Oct 25, 2023, 5:43 AM

@strong sluice how long after final did you hear back?

strong sluice Oct 28, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

heard back within 24 hours for each round

#

i had to redo my final though because there was a miscommunication the first time around 😅

proud haven Oct 28, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

strong sluice heard back within 24 hours for each round

wait so offer after 24 hours of final round of whatnot? I thought it would be longer lol. Thanks!!

strong sluice Oct 28, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

ooh are you intern or new grad

proud haven Oct 28, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

new grad

strong sluice Oct 28, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

gotcha so theres a references stage after

#

so theres still one more step after final

#

so i got an invite to that the next day

proud haven Oct 28, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

oooh ok you can get rejected on reference stage?

strong sluice Oct 28, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

yeah you can

#

its like 25% get rejected

proud haven Oct 28, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

final was lc med or lc hard?

strong sluice Oct 29, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

my final was really difficult honestly lol id say hard, if not med-hard

proud haven Oct 29, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

Oh 😭

strong sluice Oct 29, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

i do lnow theres a lot of variation though, last year i got an offer for intern and it was all standard lc meds

#

this year was all custom questions 😅

proud haven Oct 29, 2023, 12:03 AM

#

I see

#

fingers crossed then

#

Many thanks man!

strong sluice Oct 29, 2023, 12:05 AM

#

yupp, and good luck! also make sure to prep for the principles round cause they do value that a lot

proud haven Oct 31, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

@strong sluice sorry to bother you again, how long did reference round take? or like how long after final interview did you receive an offer?

strong sluice Oct 31, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

yeah no worries haha happy to help, my references were fully submitted on a friday and i ended up hearing back tuesday night

#

they were expecting to have it by monday but the ceo was at an offsite and was super packed so it took a bit longer

proud haven Oct 31, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

strong sluice they were expecting to have it by monday but the ceo was at an offsite and was s...

thank you so much!!

strong sluice Oct 31, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

no prob, and good luck! 😄

strong sluice Oct 31, 2023, 10:10 PM

#

thank you!! and from my understanding no, i received an offer for intern last year and there was no references stage

#

think its just for new grads

#

unless they changed something between this year and last

rare void Nov 1, 2023, 8:29 PM

#

Congrats on whatnot!

#

I was wondering if you could shine a bit of light on the intern pay at whatnot

strong sluice Nov 1, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

yeah for sure! last year it was 57.41/hr + 150/mo for wifi/phone

#

no housing stipend or anything cause the company is remote

rare void Nov 1, 2023, 8:39 PM

#

Hmmm, do you know if they offer lower salaries to Canadians?

#

My offer this year was only 45.43/hr CAD and I'm wondering if I should try to negotiate

strong sluice Nov 1, 2023, 8:47 PM

#

ooooh shoot gotcha

#

id say it might be worth asking but i do know most companies decrease salaries for canada 😔 maybe also ask about the new grad package for canada as an additional data point?

rare void Nov 1, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Okok, I'll do just that 👍

strong sluice Nov 1, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

yupp yeah for sure, and congrats on the offer!

rare void Nov 1, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

thanks!

buoyant timber Nov 3, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

strong sluice yupp, and good luck! also make sure to prep for the principles round cause they ...

hi @strong sluice thxxx for the insights! I made it past the karat, and I was wondering about the principles round you mentioned. Is this the final round?

strong sluice Nov 3, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

yay love that for you! and yeah principles is part of the final round 🙂 its supposed to be a 15 min addition to your last technical round, mine went a bit differently cause there was a mix up 😅 but i think its supposed to be relatively chill

strong sluice Nov 5, 2023, 10:34 PM

#

hey no worries for the ping! and yeah so first technical for me was a lc medium as a warmup and then a lc med-hard ood question (custom question that dealt with a problem whatnot actually had to solve)

#

despite the lc med/lc med-hard type difficulty for the questions, thr first tech was definitely doable and i was able to finish pretty early

#

second technical was very difficult imo tho 😅

strong sluice Nov 5, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

they said the same for new grad 😭 but ended up being relevant to the platform, still like leetcode type questions but far more realistic scenarios than what we usually see on lc

#

also good luck!!

strong sluice Nov 6, 2023, 11:38 PM

#

YAY so glad to hear youre moving forward - and yes omg, they are lightning quick with it

#

last year for intern, i got an offer call like 10 mins after my final round

#

it was crazy

#

for suree yeah, feel like ive had nothing but great experiences interviewing with whatnot, can definitely see why their glassdoor reviews are so great lol

#

heck yeah and good luck! feel free to ask again about any questions for the final 🙂

strong sluice Nov 15, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

i dont think they do! or if they do, i havent heard of anyone who had that happen - my friends who got rejected post final got notified via email

#

fingers crossed!!!

#

absolutely absolutely, glad i was able to help 🙂 when is your call?

#

good luck! hoping it goes well 🙏 and lmk what happens!

sent you a friend request, im gonna leave the server lol but if you or anyone else here has oustanding questions feel free to send a friend request
