# quiet belfry congrats! timeline?

9/20 - recruiter reach out
9/26 - OA (all questions done)
10/9 - 10/10 - 3 technical and 1 behavioral for final
10/14 - verbal offer via recruiter call

dawn field

3 technicals meaning 3 lc questions right

dawn field
red verge
pallid haven
#

how does the team match process look like?

red verge
dawn field
cold bronze
#

daaamn they got back to you in 4 days that's hype

#

they capped about 3-4 weeks LMAO

dawn field
#

so they might have pushed me through after reviews

cold bronze
#

i said i had a competing offer but didn't help much

formal current
#

what was competing

cold bronze
#

did you name drop who your offer was with?

formal current
#

yea i think that matters if its genuinely a good place

red verge
quiet belfry
#

i gotchu man

cold bronze
quiet belfry
#

simple

red verge
dawn field
cold bronze
red verge
#

no it shouldnā€™t, they mention it as an option anyways I think. Unless you have a crazy reason to be in nyc

dawn field
#

again i have no idea, my recruiter just said they have those offices

#

idk if theyre actually options he seemed a bit spacy

cold bronze
#

i think if i get tiktok offer and name drop that then i can fr get expedited

formal current
#

So 3 technicals is 3 lc right

dawn field
#

what?

#

did you apply through their portal or just recruiter

red verge
#

damn they hate uā€¦.

inner cedar
#

they are probaby super backed up rn imho or your school rec might be ooo

cold bronze
#

@dawn field did they say anything about how team matching is gonna work?

#

also confused on how the offer isn't contingent on team matching

red verge
inner cedar
cold bronze
#

oh so they're confident you'll eventually match

inner cedar
#

like zon

#

yeah

cold bronze
#

so it's chill to give offer immediately

inner cedar
#

yeah

#

worst case they will force a team to take you if they are being too selective

#

they used to have bootcamp earlier for this stuff but stopped

cold bronze
#

when you join as ng you join straight onto your team now?

inner cedar
#

yeah

cold bronze
#

bet ty

red verge
#

U have 1 month of bootcamp then to ur team

inner cedar
#

straight to team now I think

red verge
#

when? Bc people who joined last July still did a month of bootcamp

inner cedar
red verge
#

this year being 2025?

inner cedar
#

yeah

red verge
#

so itā€™s not implemented yet right

#

bc the most recent ng cycle still did some bootcamp. What they did is get matched to team -> do 1 month of bootcamp to get used to the development tools -> start working fulltime with your team

heady pelican
#

@dawn field was wondering if u have any tips for the preferencesd @ work assessment thing?

inner cedar
#

but they stopped it

vital juniper
#

@dawn field what were the type of questions ? Were they meta tagged ?
Would past 3 months do it ?

dim lodge
#

did you solve all the problems on the interview ? @dawn field

red verge
#

itā€™s a mini bootcamp ig

dawn field
dawn field
#

they just asked how i would debug bc we ran out of time on that last q

dawn field
#

didnt delegate anything

cold bronze
#

do you know if they have a feb start date btw

dawn field
#

no idea sorry

dim lodge
#

also does ur code compile or just running it thru manually

vital juniper
inner cedar
#

Do they point out small bugs

#

I am gonna have small bugs

dim lodge
#

so if syntax is wrong itā€™s fine?

inner cedar
#

If I canā€™t compile my code

dim lodge
#

literally

#

no way i can write clean code just like that without a compiler

brisk turret
#

@dawn field did ur rec say offer or tm?

vital juniper
dim lodge
#

also @dawn field whatā€™s TC

dawn field
dawn field
#

non negotiable

#

sign on bonus

dawn field
#

didnt write it down youd have to check on levels sorry\

dim lodge
dim lodge
vapid turret
#

i have 2 tech stages in my interview am i cooked? should i expect lc hard??

dawn field
dawn field
dawn field
dim lodge
#

how do you syntax is bad

dawn field
#

like how do i know if i made a syntax issue?

dim lodge
#

like if you make a mistake somewhere

#

yep

teal jolt
#

did you have 2 technicals and then they scheduled a third after? or did they schedule all three to begin with?

dawn field
#

ahh gotcha, i just ran through example and explain my approach

dim lodge
#

like lest say u did a = instead of ==

#

oh okok

dawn field
dim lodge
#

yeah so they not that strict

dawn field
dim lodge
dawn field
#

but i didnt mistype much plus i think coder pad has highlights

dim lodge
#

oh okok

dawn field
dim lodge
#

congrats man!

dawn field
#

youre right and thank you

#

basically imagine codesignal with no run option

dim lodge
#

expected tc to be in 220s

brisk turret
dawn field
dim lodge
#

yeah didnā€™t know linkedin pays more then meta

dawn field
#

culture is supposed to be better idk tho

dim lodge
#

yeah

brisk turret
#

U can break mid 200-300 in 1-2 yrs

dawn field
#

plus linkedin got \ so idk if that made a diff

dim lodge
#

but still a insane offer

brisk turret
#

After a promo

dawn field
#

tyty

brisk turret
#

Didnā€™t know they changed process again tho. Prev cycle the offer was tied to matching to a team

#

Maybe they r bringing back 6 month bootcamp

dawn field
vapid turret
#

are these tagged

sly marsh
#

Oh shit I havenā€™t seen the cheese one yet

dim lodge
#

tribal wraith
#

yeah its 2 med per round

azure flame
#

anyone get a hard during their interviews

sly marsh
#

Thereā€™s a chance for hard followup

sour ice
#

@dawn field the question you did not fully solve was the 2 on 1 interview?

dawn field
dawn field
sour ice
#

was it with 2 people interviewing you

#

i heard that one is shadowing and doesnt count

dawn field
#

quality of quant

dawn field
sly marsh
#

Are u sure the shadow one doesnā€™t count

dawn field
#

they were managers and 1 was shadowing

sly marsh
#

Iā€™m p sure it still does

hollow grove
dawn field
#

yes

#

missing a seen set as part of a backtracking graph

sly marsh
#

Was it the cheese one?

azure flame
#

so gotta aim to ba able to finish a question in 15 mins ish

sour ice
#

i got 3 weeks til final. got any tips?

#

just do top 100?

dawn field
#

master neetcode 150 100 meta tagged youll be a beast

#

when i say master i mean you can finish each one in 15 minutes with working soln

red verge
dawn field
#

this is the way

brisk turret
#

Pe?

sly marsh
#

This is for general swe

dawn field

formal current

sour ice

2 rounds

#

some got 3 rounds

red verge
formal current
#

i heard you only get 3+ rounds if you bum your OA

sly marsh
#

Cap

#

I got 4/4

#

And Ik that shit was optimal

#

And I got 3 rounds of coding

formal current
#

3 rounds is pretty batshit

sour ice
#

@dawn field did you solve the ocean with view with O(n) space?

formal current
#

6 lc and you cant fuck up one

pallid haven
#

6 lc, 20-25mins per lc

sour ice
#

bro 6 lc my brain would be fried

#

and then behavorial i would be dumb

formal current
#

right

#

what the fuck lmao

pallid haven
#

you can split over 2 days

sly marsh
#

Cuz isnā€™t ur stack the solution thatā€™s returned

formal current
#

honestly i dont know whats worse doing it in one run or two

sour ice
dawn field
brisk turret
#

Took like a month

dawn field

class Solution:
def findBuildings(self, heights: List[int]) -> List[int]:
result = []

    curr_highest = -1

    for i in range(len(heights) - 1, -1, -1):
        if heights[i] > curr_highest:
            result.append(i)
        curr_highest = max(curr_highest, heights[i])
    return result [::-1]
sour ice
#

fuckkkkkk

#

my interview on the 12th

#

just got email

dawn field
#

but stack is essentially the same idea

sour ice
#

im cooked bro

sly marsh
#

Wait but ur result is stored in a stack still

formal current
#

dont you set the time lmao

sour ice
#

cause everything is full

dawn field
formal current
#

how many rounds

sly marsh
#

Oh wait ur right im cooked thatā€™s the sol

sour ice

Itā€™s over for me if get binary search problem that I havenā€™t seen

quiet belfry

idk what they look for

sour ice
#

wait 3 with behavoiral lol

quiet belfry
#

yeah 3 w behavioral

sour ice
sly marsh
#

Maybe 2vs 3 coding is tied to prev exp

#

My prev exp is ass

formal current
#

do we know what the bar for passing is is it like a hard # of questions solved or

brisk turret
formal current
#

just realized im not cut out for this shit

sly marsh

I donā€™t think thatā€™s necessarily true since OP didnā€™t finish one question entirely

Hella scared

Im just gooning on lc discussion forms

Damn

I dont feel like going past 100

Need to step up my game

#

Just been slacking

sly marsh
#

R u doing 30d?

inner cedar
#

Yeah

sly marsh
#

Ive literally just been revisited 20 qs a day that ive done and running it thru my head

inner cedar
#

I am probably gonna have to revise graphs and ll too

#

Havenā€™t touched linked lists in so long

sly marsh
#

Wait also I dmed @manic sail if u dont mind

teal jolt
manic sail
# formal current i heard you only get 3+ rounds if you bum your OA

i don't think it's true. my OA is 4/4 but still have 3 coding round. one round is shadow interview with two interviewers. they just add it for training purpose. and it is not a bad thing i think, cuz the additional round is sometimes easier and can reduce the bias of other interviwers

manic sail
tribal wraith
#

how was it for you? @manic sail

cold bronze
#

i didn't have final yet

dreamy chasm
#

anyone up for mock interviews? i'm in the PST zone, so hmu

dawn field
#

@here since a ton of people asked, recruiter explained "prior to your start date you will receive a questionnaire/survey to better understand your interests and preferences which is what your team match will be made using. "

sly marsh
#

Sounds like automatic team match

#

Not like google where u have to set up meetings with managers

dawn field
#

yeah so offer is final, team match is up in the air

cold light
#

start date?

dawn field

cold bronze

For infra

dim lodge

#

Currently I have all the coding + behaviorial scheduled on same day, would u recommend splitting?

#

Also does meta value communication a lot or just getting a working sol asap . Bloomberg values a lot of communication

cold bronze
cold bronze
red verge
#
  • they do a dry run of ur code and mention corner cases
cold bronze
#

like on some test cases they make?

red verge
#

they dont run ur code. ideally you step through your code with a given test case

#

so you can verify ur solution in front of the interviewer

cold bronze
#

Oh nice

#

Iā€™m guessing a lot of ppl will do well then?

#

Anyone know how much HC they have

wicked pecan
#

would you suggest if we know optimal solution to talk about brute force and then suggest this can be improved and explain optimal and then only implement optimal code

red verge
red verge
wicked pecan
#

yeah. also would you suggest always to talk about brute force before you try to optimize. This is for questions where there may be a time constraint or the implementation would take too long

#

my main worry is the time constraint

red verge
#

up to you lol. i think that may help just to communicate that u know how to solve the problem, but again I think you're overthinking it. most interviewers are probably thinking 1) can they solve the problem well 2) can they implement it

#

so if you miss either of these that is not good

wicked pecan
#

like what is the line between explaining your thought process in depth vs finishing both questions

cold bronze
#

i feel like if i alr know the optimal sol in mind id just jump to explaining my approach for it/intuition

#

and then start coding

#

if u start out with brute force but alr know optimal it might waste some time

dawn field
coral frost
#

whats infra?

dim lodge
dawn field
#

Yes

dawn field
#

not sure i dont think so but doesnt hurt

Did the interviewers grill you on resume on any of the rounds ?
