which role did u apply?

#

Location?

elfin parrot
#

Location is in Minnesota I didn’t have any say in that

#

SDE1 new grad 2024

#

I only had 2 leetcode and one I solved optimally. The other I fumbled extremely bad and thought it was a OOD since it was worded so weirdly so I was kinda just yapping BS. But I explained my approach and talked through everything.

#

For the final I think the most important thing is to have really good behaviorals I think that’s the main reason I was able to get an offer because the convos that I had with the interviewers were really good and I hit the LPs really hard

Did you not apply for New Grad 2024?

elfin parrot
#

Yeah that was what I applied for

warped flame
#

what LPs were asked? if you don’t mind sharing

elfin parrot
#

Like the specific questions or like which LPs they were looking for?

warped flame
#

questions if you can share them,,, otherwise just the LPs

elfin parrot
#

Not too comfortable sharing the questions and I also don’t really remember them but they were really basic like STAR interview questions. In terms of the LPs I think like each question could be associated with any LP so what I did was just choose like a specific LP that matched the story I was talking about and really hammered that

warped flame
#

ah thank youu! also congratulations 🫶

did you get your interview times in CDT or PST? Do you know if it has any correlation to the location you'll get matched to?

elfin parrot
#

My interview times were scheduled in PST

#

And since I was placed somewhere that is CST I would think that the interview schedule time has no correlation with where you would be placed

#

lc tagged?

peak forge
#

^ and what was the difficulty of them?

#

congratz btw

elfin parrot
#

One question was a tagged that’s pretty high up on the list and the other wasn’t tagged but a very common problem

#

Medium and easy I think are the difficulties

#

Actually it might be a medium the other one as well but a very easy medium

Did you have to do dry runs on each coding question or did you just explain your solutions?

gentle egret
#

may I ask what type of question it was? two pointer? graph? tree?

#

So for the first coding I spent some time explaining my solution then after the interviewer seemed satisfied I coded the solution then we had some back and forth about like different approaches to the solution and he kinda asked me a little bit about the data structure that I used

#

The second coding didn’t go too well and I was kinda just blabbering

#

I’m not too comfortable saying what question type it was exactly but I will say I didn’t get any DP questions which was what I was worried about

#

I had three interviews and one was entirely behavioral one was coding only and one was behavioral and coding the coding only one was really fast and only asked me one question

peak forge
#

Gotcha interesting
