[merry valley]

Past exp?

[tawny cloud]

T25 school, ug, 3x big tech

[fierce spoke]

2 questions in each round? did they expect all test-cases passed?

[merry valley]

3x big tech as in faangmula+?

[tawny cloud]

fanng or fanng adjecent

[tawny cloud]

I wrote a bunch of tests and they were alright with mine

[merry valley]

Darn is that the bar now 😭

[tawny cloud]

so idk if I missed any

is what I'll say

tbh I think all they want is 1 question solved

I just finished them fast

[grim helm]

Did you intern there b4

[tawny cloud]

no

cold apply

Oh TC ended up being the RO intern comp, so I got the same as them

[grim helm]

MS has always ghosted me

[tawny cloud]

ya they're weird

[merry valley]

Is 1x or 2x big tech not enough?

[tawny cloud]

I know people who got it with nothing

really the issue

is never how much you have

it's simply

did someone notice ur application

at least that's always my issue

ms was the only one this season

that cold applying for ng worked

all my other processes were reaching out to recruiters directly

[merry valley]

Did the recruiter follow up fast?

After applying

[tawny cloud]

for ms?

or other companies?

[merry valley]

Yeah

Ms

[tawny cloud]

Ms, I didn't have a recrutier

till like 2 days before the interview

and the person who reached out to give me hte offer was someone completely different

LOL

but 2 days tho

from final to now

[sour kraken]

How was the overall level of the questions ? Medium or Hard ?

[tawny cloud]

but I'm p sure it's cause the AP wanted to hire me onto his team

[merry valley]

How many days after applying?

[tawny cloud]

which is why I got the offer

[tawny cloud]

medium for me, but I know some people who got hard

more on the harder side of mediums as well

[merry valley]

You had a stellar app 😎

[tawny cloud]

idk what this means

[tawny cloud]

nah we just started talking about other stuff

[sour kraken]

Did they ask from MS tagged ? Or just random.

[merry valley]

From initial application to getting contacted by recruiter

[tawny cloud]

tho I got azure so I gotta figure wlb

otherwise idk if I wanna take it

[tawny cloud]

applied like

a month after it came out?

idk I was p late

got the OA in December 15th or something

heard back in Jan 17th or something

and had final on tuesday

[merry valley]

Do they refresh their applicant pool, or is it always fifo

[tawny cloud]

didn't do any tagged

[tawny cloud]

I wouldn't know the information for that

[sour kraken]

can I dm you?

[merry valley]

Would other competing cloud providers be against one's resume focused in AWS?

[tawny cloud]

if u can't message here

[merry valley]

Like azure gcp

[tawny cloud]

I'd prefer not to be dm'd

mostly cause there's too many of you dmimg me

so if it's here I don't mind

[tawny cloud]

?

[grim helm]

Y would they be lol

Exp is good

[tawny cloud]

I worked at aws

they didn't care?

[merry valley]

Idk I always seem to get rejected/ghosted from goog/msft 😭

[tawny cloud]

google for me

I've always just reached out to my contact

and it's worked

I've interviewed there before

and when I got my first interview it was ironically cause of just going to an event

and meeting a recrutier

without realizing they were a recrutier

[tawny cloud]

msft is rng imo always

but there are recruiters in charge of schools

so if you can figure out who that is

and reach out

you're golden

[stark glacier]

was the system design question basically Object-oriented design ?

[tawny cloud]

depends on interviewer

I've heard a mix from people

so you could get design twitter if they really wanted (that isn't a question that was asked)

or get build a thingy

[merry valley]

Msft new grad is probably full atp right

For this cycle at least

[stark glacier]

pretty sure monday was the first round of interviews

[tawny cloud]

tuesday

and ya

[stark glacier]

Tuesday*

[tawny cloud]

there's people getting scheduled still

[fierce spoke]

did you talk more about the high level of how would you scale such system or talk about low-level classes and all?

[tawny cloud]

All for me

[grim helm]

I can only pray for vancouver posting now then

[tawny cloud]

I know like 1 person who got reached out to so far, they really haven't started yet

I know they're still finishing up summer intern as well for van

[fierce spoke]

any mention of Design patterns? Also was the system design for 45 mins or they were expecting to solve another question with this system design?

[tawny cloud]

idk what that even means

anything can happen

it's really up to ur interviewer

for mine I think I got like 1 main questions and then 7 mini questions

that had some or no relation

[jovial osprey]

how did you prep then?

[tawny cloud]

didn't really

other than a few mocks

and doing like 200-300 lc back in august

kinda focused on relaxing and chilling

which sounds bad to say

but I just felt if I was freaking out, I wouldn't do well

[grim helm]

Have you done meta onsite?

I'm guessing you would take meta over MS right

[tawny cloud]

next week

[tawny cloud]

honestly prob not

I don't really care for meta

they're low on my list rn

[stark glacier]

When are the start date for Microsoft?

[grim helm]

[tawny cloud]

was told "it depends"

[tawny cloud]

what does that reaction mean?

[grim helm]

gladge or happy for you

[tawny cloud]

o

ty

[crude kite]

[tawny cloud]
