also google tm kinda iffy rn is what I heard

@bold orchid u mind dm'ing ur resume to me?

I wanna compare

and see what's ur bg

[rancid storm]

google tm hard

[bold orchid]

wym

[rancid storm]

it’s hard to get matched to a team rn

at least for me

[bold orchid]

yeah rec said to just put the most in demand locs/dates

to try to get through

[rancid storm]

did he tell you what the most in demand locs and dates are

[bold orchid]

bay area and they're preferring june/july

anything later will be diff

said nyc is basically impossible as well

[cloud wadi]

How long u in been in tm for? What start date?

[rancid storm]

1 week, august

[rancid storm]

tuff I put august

it’s already the middle of june

[vital kernel]

So the job you interviewed for was early career bay area but you still had a chance to put preference for ny area after you cleared all rounds?

[bold orchid]

yeah I think the location pref when submitting the app is useless at least for early career

also afaik it just said early career not “early career Bay Area”

[lime shore]

Bay Area highest by a margin. Then Seattle Kirkland. All others kinda low. NYC near impossible, not much hiring in Chicago. For start date, I’m guessing earlier the better.

[cloud wadi]

I put Aug too

[rancid storm]

our time will come brother

[carmine flare]

Same

No calls yet been in tm for a month 🫡

[floral oasis]

[carmine flare]

Oh that’s good to hear

[rancid storm]

aug start date rise up

[green timber]

Congratulations!!!

[still pond]

@bold orchid How would you rate yourself in all rounds ?

[floral oasis]

10/10 turtle is perfect

[bold orchid]

lnh/lh, sh, h/sh for coding

h/sh for behavioral

[green timber]

why do you think it was lnh/lh like ?
(Just wondering is it non-optimized final soln, not the soln interviewer wanted, or took hints, etc.)

[bold orchid]

went down the wrong path initially and needed a hint to get back to the right path

was able to solve it afterwards but I spent a bit of time going down the wrong time

[green timber]

Do you usually confirm with interviewer if this the optimized soln they want or they just tell you to move on (with followup)?

[bold orchid]

we ran through it and he said it looked fine

then we did some follow ups along with complexities

[woeful gyro]

did you complete any followup question on that round?

[bold orchid]

yeah
