[lyric citrus]

Just curious, when was your onsites? Had mine (EC non campus) about a week n a half ago and trying to get a feel for how many weeks I'll probably be waiting

[lusty acorn]

2 weeks ago

[tribal breach]

was it lc tagged?

[spare spear]

What type of problems did you get? Graphs? If you can answer

[lusty acorn]

no

[lusty acorn]

mono stacks / DP / backtracking (no graphs sadly... i wanted graphs)

[manic sleet]

Why does bro want graphs 😭

[spare spear]

Dp is my weakness was it hard

[manic sleet]

Google asked me dp+bitmask for intern role

I gave up

[spare spear]

I think I’d rather get graphs than dp

[lusty acorn]

DP hard yes

[manic sleet]

Were u able to code up dp hard?

[lusty acorn]

graphs are so nice, at least it's easy to go in the right direction in interviews

[manic sleet]

Fax

[spare spear]

Fml. Were the questions very vague or kind of direct enough to know what DSA to use

[lusty acorn]

I didnt even figure out it was DP lol it could also be solved in a weird graph way so I did that (however it's probably less efficient but who cares)

[manic sleet]

Damn bro

Are u from loo?

[lusty acorn]

nope

[manic sleet]

Real

U deserve google

Fucking lootards

[lusty acorn]

They're making me work hard for it

[manic sleet]

Ise fine croski

[lusty acorn]

Google is teasing me

[manic sleet]

They just edging u

Don’t bust

[lusty acorn]

They want more

[spare spear]

F loo crodie

Me being in America

[manic sleet]

Even muriccans hate loo

Lmfao

[spare spear]

Was the backtracking close to one of the famous questions

[lusty acorn]

Nope

[frank canopy]

mono stacks and back tracking arent bad

DP tho gg

which ones was the one u struggled on?

[lusty acorn]

The backtracking one

Because you had to do some stuff before with the input to figure out it was backtracking

Like the guy gave me huge hints to put me in the right direction

[manic sleet]

How cracked are u at lc? @lusty acorn

[lusty acorn]

I’m okay ish i guess

[frank canopy]

ahh i see, cause i would say backtrack is stil graph

[lusty acorn]

Yeah no it was more about the idea of using backtracking not the backtracking in itself that was hard

Problem specific difficulty, not pattern specific

[frank canopy]

just be ready for something as technical as that interview then cause i think they want to see how u think through it (may not be same dsa)

[lusty acorn]

If you know what I mean

[spare spear]

Did you fully code everything?

[frank canopy]

yeah like understanding the problem

[lusty acorn]

Yes

Well didnt have time for one followup but wrote in comments how i would do it

[frank canopy]

was nc150 good prep? or need more

[lusty acorn]

Yeah i guess it’s enough that’s mostly what I prepped with

[spare spear]

You’re cracked with 400

[frank canopy]

when u scheduling the extra interview?

[lusty acorn]

26th of september

[frank canopy]

thats good dont wait too long

you got this bro

[lusty acorn]

not cracked enough apparently

[lusty acorn]

yeeeeeeah let's go

[spare spear]

Been working 2 years and haven’t reached the 150 count

[frank canopy]

nc150 is literally free 150 for u + do some daily / past conests

[spare spear]

Been doing that but also have less time to really grind with work

Went through like 80+ on nc150

Gave up on dp after solving the basics like house robber

[scenic sleet]

ah shit goodluck man!

[mossy spoke]

Just one round for too much hints?

They require the extra round right?
