[hoary veldt]

[gilded holly]

Real

[gilded holly]

I did 125/150 and I did like 180 tagged problems (a huge overlap there tho ofc)

[vale dome]

@gilded holly what was the position, and were all questions on tagged?

[supple arch]

@gilded holly did they ask any system design questions in the final round?

[gilded holly]

SDE1 fungible

interview 1: max area of island (solved well optimally), largest island (floundered like a fish out of water 💀)
interview 2: custom question involving query processing, something between ood and lc (solved optimally and explained well), lp discussion about snowflake internship (went well)
interview 3: lps. dive deep (larped about using the debugger for the first time 💀 , then he asked for another example which i gave really well), responding to feedback (done well), working on something with limited experience (done well)

[vale dome]

whats lps? congrats

[gilded holly]

Leadership principles

It’s their thing for behavioral interviews

[vale dome]

27/30

I was 1 minute away from getting 22 but I clutched at the end

[analog galleon]

Were your interviewers from different locations? Congrats

[gilded holly]

I think they were all in Seattle

2 were on the same team and one was on a different team, but that guy was a replacement interviewer

[analog galleon]

Would you say that LPs are the main thing they look for?

[hoary veldt]

from 3 month or 30 days

[outer ridge]

.

[gilded holly]

I think all

[gilded holly]

I think the LP part is really important yes

[manic pagoda]

[gilded holly]

Wouldn’t have gotten in without lps for sure

[manic pagoda]

[storm quest]

for interview 2, was it closer to making UMLs or just filling in predefined functionality

[gilded holly]

No I just wrote up a Python function and I decided inputs and outputs

[storm quest]

would you say it's easier than the LC portion, and how lengthy would you say your interview 2 solution was

I'm going crazy trying to know what I should expect for the ood portion haha

[gilded holly]

my thing was not that standard

but idk maybe 40 lines or so? i had to write out a bunch of if elses

[junior stone]

Bro don’t you have snowflake ro ?

[gilded holly]

[vale dome]

@gilded holly how many days after oa did you get reachout for next steps

[gilded holly]

Like a week

[primal carbon]

max are of island and largest island are the same thing right? or am i missing something

[gilded holly]

No

https://leetcode.com/problems/max-area-of-island/

This was p1

https://leetcode.com/problems/making-a-large-island/

This is p2

[vale dome]

were you able to solve making a large island or did an explination suffice

[gilded holly]

I did neither p much

[primal carbon]

Thanks for sharing

[tranquil light]

do u remember the specific query processing question? would u say its hard to answer?

[gilded holly]

It’s not too bad but it does have some complication

It’s like you can decide what inputs you get for a function, but your function should be able to output the result of various different types of queries

For example, you need to write a function that can handle both of these queries:

Managers in marketing with 7+ yoe

Managers in marketing or employees in marketing with 3-6 yoe

So handling the and clauses vs or clauses and also handling priority parentheses: (A and B) or C vs A and (B or C)

[tranquil light]

oh i get it ty
