[tidal nimbus]

[crimson falcon]

yeah

[tidal nimbus]

didn't see any posting, reachout?

[crimson falcon]

but they prefer experience

2 coding rounds and then 1 another coding round then system design and behavioral

[tidal nimbus]

done with screening coding round? if so how was the difficulty

[crimson falcon]

it was one of the hardest

didn’t hear back for a while

LC medium - hard

[dreamy stream]

Do u mind sharing what type of questions was asked(dp, graph, etc…)? I’m doing my 2 rounds of technicals soon. Thanks!

[finite pebble]

By system design you mean something similar to Zon?

[crimson falcon]

when’s ur next 2 rounds?

[dreamy stream]

Tmr

[finite pebble]

Could you share the topics of your questions?

[crimson falcon]

all the best, mine is later

[crimson falcon]

generic lc questions no dp

[finite pebble]

Phewf. I think I'll do DP from 150 just in case

What do you suggest I do to prepare for LC? 150 and tagged enough?

[dreamy stream]

Ok, no dp is good. Thanks!

[finite pebble]

How are you prepping for lc rounds?

[dreamy stream]

Just redoing some of the lc hards for neetcode 150

Might be cooked, I asked to do interview in c++, and I’ve failed all interviews I’ve ever done in c++

[finite pebble]

Was it writing pseudocode or did you have to run against test cases?

[finite pebble]

@crimson falcon ?

[crimson falcon]

test

coperpad

[finite pebble]

Were your questions from tagged?

[crimson falcon]

lc hards

[finite pebble]

But from tagged?

[crimson falcon]

[crimson falcon]

how was your interview??

[finite pebble]

+1

[dreamy stream]

it was one question per interview, consists of oop. one of them was a hard graph question, and the other was a med - hard async data structure question.

[finite pebble]

Wait,

1. was it like a super day? With all interviews on a single day?
2. Are you done with all interviews?
3. On what platform was the interview?
4. Did you have to run your code?
5. Was there any behavioral part or just 55 minutes of coding?

[dreamy stream]

mine was just the 2 technicals, waiting to hear back for virtual onsite

both my technicals on the same day

it was coderpad

did have to run code

theres some very light behavioural based on interviewer intereset, around 50mins of coding

[finite pebble]

Wait, was this your tech screen?

[dreamy stream]

Yeah

[finite pebble]

Did you hear back?

@crimson falcon did you give your panel interviews?

[crimson falcon]

nope

[finite pebble]

How long after your tech screens did they let you know you're off into the panel loop?

[crimson falcon]

i have the next screen in few days

2 interviews splittedb

[finite pebble]

Wait, so you aren't done with your tech screens yet?

[dreamy stream]

I decided to withdraw from the process because it was too much work XD

Good luck everyone here

[native topaz]

@crimson falcon @small bison do you know if you have to completely green all ints and follow ups? I think i had a hard time explaining one follow up for my first interview but i was able to solve in optimal time and pass tests
