how was karat?

[odd hedge]

how was the whatnot karat?

[pearl aspen]

Cooked. I spent more time tryna understand the questions than implementing n testing LMFAO

[odd hedge]

shiet

[pearl aspen]

it was a weird hash set + counting problem. Count as in increment counter

And second question was similar to car fleet

Im salty af. The interviewer was not competent. I can tell they doing IVE for the money only

[odd hedge]

bruh...

that's cooked

wtf even is karat

bro im not trynna do an interview with some rando like this

[pearl aspen]

Mannnn i was thinking the same

But just prep more variety of lc med then u should be good.
Goodluckk man.

[odd hedge]

thanks man

[odd hedge]

how many did u finish

i just did it today

bruh

like i had 40 minutes

cuz we spent 20 minutes doing intros

😭

all just lc mediums

not too tuff but like time crunch was actually crazy bro

mine was just like course schedule and then literally a bunch of hashmap problems

[pearl aspen]

Only the first question. Didnt have enough time to code up second

[pearl aspen]

Wait this includes some question about ur resume too right

[pearl aspen]

Damn u did better than me thoo

[odd hedge]

yeah

[odd hedge]

i think it’ll be chill

i dunno

[pearl aspen]

Also did u ask interviewer any questions at the end

I didnt know what to ask cuz they not Whatnot interviewer so just like nope no question

[odd hedge]

lol idk i just asked about the guy himself

was a pretty chill interviewer

cuz the whole thing is recorded

im assuming they probably filter by how many problems u successfully finish and if u get the runtime/spacetime analysis correct as wel

and then they prolly review some of the footage, or karat has some staff that give notes for it ig

[pearl aspen]

Damnn. Nice okay sounds like u did very good

I fucked up

[pearl aspen]

Yeah written feedback + recording

Man i think they should just done 45 mins tech screening via phone instead of Karat. I wanted to try my rizz on Whatnot engineers 🗿
