OA - 1st Oct
VO - 14th Oct
Offer - 18th Oct

1 med, 1 hard (1/2 optimal, 2/2 tagged)
2 meds (2/2 optimal, non-tagged)

[celest crane]

I think you might be one of the first in this server to get offer without all optimal

[pale wharf]

thought i had the optimal solution but interviewer insisted there was a more efficient solution, but due to time constraints i just outlined what i think he wanted to hear. though i thought both solutions would be same complexity

[zenith yarrow]

2/4 tagged? And one was hard? Damn

[celest crane]

they don’t have many hard tagged

[zenith yarrow]

You got a hard that was untagged?

Did you get it?

[celest crane]

no I take mine on Dec 6th

oops I see why u said that lol, typo

[zenith yarrow]

Yeah I’ve been seeing a lot of people recently getting 2/4 tagged and usually a hard. Someone got a hard that was untagged too☹️

[pale wharf]

yeah i cant rmb if the hard was a tagged or not. all i rmb was searching up the questions post interview and found 3 meds and 1 hard, 2 of them tagged

[pliant prism]

congrats! were the med that weren't tagged on lc?

[keen jasper]

did you have asian interviewers?

and how many lc's have you done prior? i'm scared i'll flunk on unseen q's with so less time to process

[dim willow]

that means they’re all lc?

[frail pike]

[pale wharf]

[strange herald]

wait ur in the same situation as me lol. got c1 and doing meta final in december

[celest crane]

yeah

lol

[strange herald]

that's crazy lol

what are you doing to prep for meta?

I'm just doing the meta tagged and some neetcode 150

[zenith yarrow]

i think thats all you can do

its so rng, but you can boost your chances best by doing neetcode/leetcode 150 and then meta tagged

[pale wharf]

nope none of them

[zenith yarrow]

some of the neetcode/leetcode 150 are kinda dumb imo tho lol

[strange herald]

shouldn't it be meta tagged then neetcode 150?

[pale wharf]

tell me about a time when…

[zenith yarrow]

Yeah I think neetcode is good for like introducing the patters and then I am working on applying those patterns to meta tagged

[strange herald]

ah i see, good point

[zenith yarrow]

I am not the person to be speaking on this tho tbh

i can barely do mediums right now

I think the meta tagged mediums are pretty fair

[strange herald]

yeah I agree, it's not that bad

welp, back to grinding 😭

[pale wharf]

no

[dim willow]

what about XZ, JL, MN @pale wharf

[pale wharf]

nope
