how it feels to followup

[unreal bear]

Have you been waiting since October?

[low citrus]

no

I started interviewed in october

my last interview in jan

[thorny garden]

At Meta do they want you to explain the logic before you get into the code or should you just have a very high level plan and then get right into the code?

[low citrus]

I mean yo have to do 2 questions in 35 mins, including followups. so if you start by giving general idea of the approach and explain each line as you go, major components, should do just fine

plus discussing edge case and complexities

[unreal bear]

Do you guys think they reached hc?

And a few spots keep opening up that’s why some ppl are getting very few hours recently

[low citrus]

can't say anything atp

[thorny garden]

I did the first optimally and the second but did not get the followup. I was also a little jittery and nervous. Is it a gg?
(I know you won't know if you weren't there but just curious about your opinion)

[low citrus]

did you get a reject?

[thorny garden]

just did it today

[frosty condor]

they are still interviewing more ppl?

[low citrus]

for SWE?

or PE?

[thorny garden]

yeah

[low citrus]

damn

[low citrus]

you're in the wait game now lol

[thorny garden]

this was just the tech screen

[thorny garden]

how long does it take for them to get back to you after the tech screen?

[thorny garden]

same question for you ^

[low citrus]

bruh

is it for new grad or e4?

coz nobody had tech screen here

[thorny garden]

It was supposed to be for e4 and I have the qualifications for e4 but my recruiter said they are going to interview me as an E3

[low citrus]

damn

[thorny garden]

they just went straight to the final round for you?

[low citrus]

I mean for normal e3s

everyone had OA then onsite

no tech screen

[low citrus]

this means they still have headcount for h3

e3*

can you ask your recruiter, because e3 recs are shit

[thorny garden]

how long after the OA did you hear back?

[low citrus]

the next day

[unreal bear]

Wait that’s really weird

That you interviewed for e3

[thorny garden]

is it a good sign if the interviewer went 15 min beyond the allotted time to answer questions?

[thorny garden]

maybe because I graduated my masters on April 24?

[low citrus]

bro even I graduated in aprin 24

but I did not have prior experience

[thorny garden]

ah I do

[young stag]

omg still they interview for e3 swe?!

[thorny garden]

did you already interview with meta?

[young stag]

yeah dec

[thorny garden]

did you get an offer already?

[young stag]

no waiting fuck long time

[thorny garden]

you all went from OA to onsite right?

[young stag]

yep

[thorny garden]

DM'd

[harsh knot]

@thorny garden can you email your recruiter about headcount concerns for e3 given the very low response rate?

[thorny garden]

I don't think they would reach out to me till they give my results back

[harsh knot]

it’s worth a shot

the fact that you’re even allowed to interview as e3 means something

[thorny garden]

already emailed them today, not responding

[young stag]

Haha thx a lot

[harsh knot]

ok @ me if u get a response ur recruiters for e4+ are generally more open lipped than ours

[low citrus]

same me as well

[low citrus]

I guess phone screen decision is made in 48 hours, yeah?

[frosty condor]

It should take them 1-2 weeks to get back to us after the final, but here we are.

[low citrus]

but phone screen is different

they have some rule or something

[unreal bear]

So we still have hope?

[unreal bear]

My rec usuall responds to follow-ups really fast but now he’s ghosting

Should I follow up again

[frosty condor]

who is your rec?

[unreal bear]

DC

[harsh knot]

might be out of office i havent gotten responses from dc either

[harsh knot]

did you get any response yet

[unreal bear]

I emailed last Friday and auto responded that he’ll be back 3/3

[harsh knot]

so i’m still being left on delivered even though he’s been back for two days great

[slow slate]

my friend got E3 offer yesterday
this means they are rolling out e3 offers
but in a random order or based on hire strength, coz my full loop was held before his

[low citrus]

bro it’s no secret people are waiting from november, ther’re kinda going in chronological order kinda rec dependent and kinda random

[harsh knot]

what was the exact interview date

[slow slate]

loop ended on dec 9th
I saw one more person's offer
they have a common recruiter with initials AD
so we can imply that it is based on our recruiters, but still not sure

[young stag]

@slow slate those two friends did perfectly codings?

[slow slate]

one of them was unable to code up the optimal solution for a question but was able to explain the entire approach for it and still got in
