Sep 27th Offer

I wouldn't have made it without the advice of other people, so if anyone wants tips for the interview I would be thrilld to oblige

[green oracle]

Hey, congratulations on the offer. How tough was the OA? I have a 3.5 hour OA

[queen dome]

was it a no response zone for a week? they usually respond in a week, did you follow up in that period of time?

congrats!

[rugged terrace]

I got 20/30 for the OA but noted how I would've solved/improved my solution

Remember to brush up on the LPs before the OA

For the OA the code and the LPs are like

50/50 in importance

[rugged terrace]

No response for a week, yeah. I followed up 2 days ago though and was told, basically, 'soon bruh'

[vale dove]

this is for a 2024 start right?

[rugged terrace]

Yessir

[mint terrace]

how was the interviews? did u do ood?

[rugged terrace]

I did an OOD (bombed it, didn't get any followups because I took too long). Generally, I think I vibed very well with my LC round guy, and ok with the behavioral

[mint terrace]

oh damn do u know the name of the design?

[rugged terrace]

It was basically "Design a basketball league"

I do not watch basketball LOL

[mint terrace]

oh lmao

i dont either, thanks for the tips

[rugged terrace]

Cheers!

[meager jackal]

was ur ood in the same round as your behavioral or were they 2 seperate rounds?

[rugged terrace]

1 behavioral round and 1 round that was mixed OOD & behavioral

[green oracle]

How did you prep for OOD round?

[sleek anchor]

i think i vibed pretty well with my LP guy, the LC interviewer didnt really talk that much with me and i solved the first one and they were satisfied for sure but the second question i felt like they didnt know if i solved it cause they were not fluent in python and time ran out...

[rugged terrace]

looked up templates for my language and just worked from there

can't say I suggest taking advice from me on OOD

[green trench]

Location? Almost 4 months waiting for Canada

Also grats

[twin trench]

Bro i heard canada is deadass full

[green trench]

Bruh I applied 4 months ago literally how

Didn't it open pretty late from what I recall

[twin trench]

A process taking 4 months is insane

[rugged terrace]

Seattle :/

Waiting on Oa?

[green trench]

Waiting for offer/rejection/waitlist

I got screened out for us prob since I'm Canadian citizen

[green trench]

Even then I feel like waitlist is more appropriate then nothing at all

[fallen jungle]

Are you sure you recruiter didn’t get fired or something lool

[twin trench]

Come to the US

[green trench]

We don't have specific recruiters at least from the people I've talked to

[green trench]

I wish

[tranquil cipher]

[slate oyster]

What are the expectations for OOD round? Do you write the whole code or discussing classes is enough?

For sde1

[rugged terrace]

You write it, maybe closer to the end of the round they may expect you to just discuss it

But generally speaking it’s written

[midnight zinc]

@rugged terrace is OOD same as system design round? I have an interview coming up for SDE-1 and my email says please disregard system design

[rugged terrace]

Ood os not the same, no. Consider something like Pizza price calculator or Amazon locker

[midnight zinc]

can I dm? @rugged terrace

[rugged terrace]

Sure! Won’t be able to give too much info atm, am out

But I’ll answer any questions u got

[tranquil cipher]

For OOD a good example is “parking lot Amazon OOD”

You’ll prob find some good results
