Could you share lld and coding difficulty?
hazy hemlock
vo:
interview 1 - bar raiser, 4 lps
interview 2 - 1 LLD, 3 lps
interview 3 - 2 LLDs
2 of the LLDs were common: Amazon Locker, Pizza, File System, Parking Lot, etc. The 3rd was specific to the guys team which was interesting.

Did all your 3 rounds went equally good?
hazy hemlock
It felt as if they wanted me to code something that "works", ask the right clarifying questions, and talk through my process. All my interviewers were chillers.

Is this fungible sde?
hazy hemlock
Did all your 3 rounds went equally good?
All my LP questions went really well, had great convos, etc. The two common LLDs went well, 3rd one I needed help but I asked good questions and found myself at the solution at the end.

LLDs
how long was each LLD for u tho in terms of classes to write and etc
because i doubt they’re too advanced right
hazy hemlock
Not too advanced at all
The first implementation guideline they give you (the first version) was simple. Essentially a class with one function that was 3-4 lines long.
In the initial step it was important for me to identify what ds I wanted to use etc.
Then as we went on, they gave me another requrement
and then we implemented that

The first implementation guideline they give you (the first version) was simple....
i thought they usually don’t give starter code
hazy hemlock
And I was asked follow ups like, how can we minimize developer effort if we needed to make a certain change to this class, etc. Basically just making your code extensible and declarative .
hazy hemlock
i thought they usually don’t give starter code
By first version I meant, the first requirements
pseudo geode
ah yeah
hazy hemlock
Yea, they give no code
pseudo geode
congrats man
ya i feel if we can just verbalize our thoughts then it should be okay right even if it’s not “correct”
hazy hemlock
ya i feel if we can just verbalize our thoughts then it should be okay right eve...
more or less, they still want to see that you are competent
pseudo geode
yeah
hazy hemlock
For LLDs they look for competency and problem solving/analytical ability (asking good questions etc etc)
atleast for my specific vo

What were the follow ups of LP stories and how did you prepare for them?
hazy hemlock
What were the follow ups of LP stories and how did you prepare for them?
They just drilled into my stories asking for more details. Regardless of how specific I was, they tried to get me to be more specific, talk about impact. TBH it felt that they were trying to ask me more questions about my stories so that they could write better things for me so I had a better chance of getting hired yk.
