sudden obsidian
#

azure sun
#

#

Gl

sudden obsidian
#

ty

#

do you have final?

azure sun
#

You gonna reask for winter if you get offer?

sudden obsidian
#

no. I can't do winter

azure sun
#

Someone did that and got it since a spot opened

azure sun
sudden obsidian
#

There is room for Summer though

azure sun
sudden obsidian
#

oh nice

#

Could you tell me a bit about the final?

#

Its 2 parts

#

Mine spans over 4.5 hours

#

Is one part LC and another OOD?

#

Or... how does it work?

azure sun
#

In the email there’s the design round and the coding round

sudden obsidian
#

But thats so general

#

is the coding round like lc? And design round ood?

azure sun
#

Design round is an lc Q and a design Q. Design is similar to the ood q from before, but has some big differences

#

There’s some collaboration in this one

#

And it’s still high level implementation

sudden obsidian
#

Both lc and ood here is high level?

#

They dont want working code?

azure sun
#

They didn’t ask me for working code for any

#

Explanation was the most important thing. I heard someone got asked for code tho

#

But only one person

sudden obsidian
#

So this LC q and OOD d is all in the first hour?

#

Then what about the 2 hour session? That's where you actually implement the OOD question?

#

In that part do they want working code?

#

I wasn’t able to code everything out

#

But I explained what I had coded out well

#

And the thing I didn’t code, I had it in my head, I just couldn’t type it out fast enough, so I explained what I had in my head to the interviewer

#

I made sure to explain my thought process behind my decisions

sudden obsidian
#

Are they looking for you to explain what design patterns you used or how you utilized SOLID principles and shit like that?

#

Or is that too deep?

#

Also someone told me they got asked to OOD a board game? Do they use the same question for everyone in final round? Just like they used the same OOD question (Jigsaw Puzzle) for everyone in phone round.

azure sun
#

Idek what that is

#

But if you think that will help, then go for it

#

For the coding round, have you looked at the document they sent in one of the email for the phone interview invite

#

The document has examples that show how they went you to go over their questions and explain and approach

#

A bit about what they want you to care about
