!process bombed Amazon OA

[gusty scarab]

did u get both lc hards? or did u bomb the behav part

[soft turtle]

got 1 hard and bombed that one, bq i had basically no clues just followed common sense

i later found that it's the 4th q on lc contest, roughly 80 lines of code

these OAs are getting crazy

[gusty scarab]

80 lines is wild, is it some graph algo like bipartite matching or sum

segment tree is wild if it is that rectangle one

[hollow fulcrum]

Wow

[soft turtle]

It’s just crazy convoluted hashmap based prefix sum like O(26^4) stuff

[gusty scarab]

26^4 is wild

[soft turtle]

Not really a extremely deep algo, but you just gotta have that confidence and courage to implement it even you subtly thought about it

I thought for a moment about a solution that’s close but I just felt absurd and ditched it

[hearty peak]

What'd you get on the OA?

[gloomy folio]

[keen crown]

I got like 10 test cases out of 30 on the zon OA and got the final

[gusty scarab]

how much time after OA did u get the final email? also have u scheduled it yet?

[hearty peak]

respects, im holding onto some hope with 18/30. But ive seen 30/30 get rejected too so its kinda rng idk

[gusty scarab]

is the OA auto? cuz then they might be screening after the OA if 30/30 are getting rejected

[hearty peak]

no

[soft turtle]

last week

[hearty peak]

what? no i meant what score you get on the oa

[soft turtle]

Sry misread, got 20/30 iirc

[hearty peak]

all good, yeah got rejection 2 days later
