#

cobalt comet okay, are you a grad or undergrad ?

undergrad, sophomore

cobalt comet Sep 24, 2025, 10:50 PM

twin ore Sep 24, 2025, 10:50 PM

twin ore Sep 24, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

twin ore Sep 24, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

the second interviewer gave me an easier question based on my grade, i told him at the beginning

#

the first interviewer i only mentioned it at the end, and she was like "oh i shoudl have looked at your resume and given a more fitting question"

twin ore Sep 24, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

cobalt comet im a grad, dont think that will help lol

twin ore Sep 24, 2025, 10:52 PM

#

jolly surge i would assume they know beforehand 😭

i talked to an interviewer and the guidance is to look at it but not everyone follows it

#

hence why my first interviewer didnt know i was a sophomore and didnt give me a fitting question

jolly surge Sep 24, 2025, 10:52 PM

second one, the interviewer didnt understand my algo til the last 10 min and gave me the green light to cdode

#

so it had hella pseudocode cause i was rushing it

novel grail Sep 25, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

could you tell it was sliding window for both problems right when u got problem statement

#

also do they paste the question into the doc or just read it aloud?

twin ore Sep 25, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

they paste it

twin ore Sep 25, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

novel grail could you tell it was sliding window for both problems right when u got problem ...

yea lowkey

novel grail Sep 25, 2025, 2:29 AM

#

how did u prep

#

nc 150?

twin ore Sep 25, 2025, 2:30 AM

#

novel grail Sep 25, 2025, 2:31 AM

#

#

good luck

rapid yew Sep 25, 2025, 2:38 AM

#

twin ore they paste it

Is it a standard google doc?

#

That u work on

#

Or is it like coder pad

#

But from Google

twin ore Sep 25, 2025, 2:46 AM

#

standard doc but in google

#

googles own website

#

im a soph i didnt get graphs tbh

#

but i did hear its common

twin ore Sep 25, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

if you can solve all the neetcode 150 including the hards you should be good

#

i would say all thats necessary tbh is all the neetcode up to the medium

#

and you can probably ignore tries and stuff

#

just focus on heaps, stacks, sliding window, graph, trees, dp mainly from neetcode

dusky yarrow Sep 25, 2025, 4:04 AM

#

what about when the 3d dp space optimized comes

twin ore Sep 25, 2025, 4:22 AM

#

then i cook
