The juicy details:
### Location
US
### Prerequisites
* Cold Apply
* Neetcode 150
* Audited competitive programming class at my school
### OA (Nov 2024)
Score 28/30.
Q1: ~~Reverse~~ Inverse Pascal's Triangle
Brute forced
Q2: Maximum Subarray with special operations on subarray
Submitted a logically incorrect solution to pass more test cases XD
__Note__: "Was it proctored?"
HackerRank said it was, but I couldn't tell. Seeing all these AI tools, you could probably cheat -- but please don't.
### Survey (Jan 2025)
Picked a date
### Virtual Onsite (Feb 18th)
Round 1: LPs + LLD (Don't use python, like me)
Round 2: Bar Raiser (LPs only)
Round 3: LPs + Very vague non-leetcode question
### Offer (Feb 25 2025)
5 Business days later
### Performance
Honestly, thought I failed horribly.
Rambled a lot on the LPs, loosely following STAR format. Didn't "finish" LLD. Have no idea how I did on the vague non-leetcode question.
But upon objective reflection, I think I was naturally off the charts for their LPs in every aspect of my interview (including tech).
Like 9.9 Richter Scale no cap. And think about it, literally 2 of the 3 hours is on LPs.
For tech, it's better to not know a googleable fact than have a skill issue.
Good luck to everyone else. I will not respond to DMs.
And remember: perception != performance

Made a list of some experiences I had and kinda just winged it lol. Some had overlap, but focused on different parts of the experience depending on the question

### Performance
Absolutely cooked in every part of the interview (an absolute giga chad).
Did not get optimal on first leetcode, but used a trick I showed him for a different leetcode problem a few nights before lol that is optimal for average time complexity.

By “leetcode disguised” I’m going to assume probably something related to lru cache
As expected
But yeah LP’s are super important
