#

when did you take your karat

old nacelle Oct 1, 2025, 11:08 PM

#

theres karat tagged?

untold jackal Oct 2, 2025, 5:44 PM

#

@dusky gust

#

I just took it

#

i fumbled q2 of time complexity

#

They said priority queue and I thought it was a deque

#

i full solved coding tho

#

im prob cooked then if u got rj

#

Wait

#

Did you have 2 lc questions??

#

I had time 10 mins time complex and 45 mins to solve

#

Some ppl say there r supposed to be 2 problems lc style

limber solar Oct 2, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

I just took it as well

#

I got easier trivia questions but my coding was so fucked

jade aurora Oct 2, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

Wait so how is the interview structured? I saw someone saying 4 questions and now 2 and I'm confused

limber solar Oct 2, 2025, 7:32 PM

#

For me it was 3 trivia Qs for 10 min then 45min coding

jade aurora Oct 2, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

Is trivia just DSA q's? Also was it only 1 coding question for 45 mins?

tired egret Oct 2, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

how difficult was the coding problem? like med-hard?

untold jackal Oct 2, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

jade aurora Is trivia just DSA q's? Also was it only 1 coding question for 45 mins?

trivia is easy

#

"whats the time complexity of lookup in hashmap"

#

"whats time complexity of traversing a linked list"

#

etc

#

untold jackal Oct 3, 2025, 12:18 AM

Fr?

#

Did you optimal solve everything

#

I missed one of the time complexity questions but solved everything else

#

am i cooked

#

ah

#

when did u get moved to final

#

I did karat yday

#

should i retake it

#

i solved everything else optimal

#

ye i passed all test cases and gave correct time and space

#

i thought a prio queue was a deque 😞

#

So i said it’s O(1) to remove

#

ah fuck

#

Heapify is o(logn)

#

Insert and remove is logn

#

Edit an element?

#

I know if you push and pop at the same time it’s more efficient

#

Well

#

You need to find the element first

#

so o(n)

dusky gust Oct 3, 2025, 6:16 PM

#

Maybe I should’ve retook but I had 3 interviews the next day gg

somber mantle Oct 3, 2025, 8:10 PM

#

old nacelle Oct 4, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

my trivia was fucked

#

and coding was fucked too

jade aurora Oct 5, 2025, 12:04 AM

#

How is the final structured? Ik it’s 5 hours but beyond that is there anything else they told you?

jade aurora Oct 5, 2025, 12:50 AM

#

How do you even prep for all that lol

untold jackal Oct 5, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

i dont think the intern interview is 5 hours

#

ive heard final for interns is just 1 round

#

how do you knwo? did they tell u

untold jackal Oct 5, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

#

unless they changed it (or the link you sent might be for NG?), i think it's jst 1 round?

#

either way, let us know how it goes

#

ah ok

#

good luck bro

#

ng process is so cooked compared to intern

#

🙏

How does the retake work?

Can you just go on the same email and schedule a second time or is there another email?

#

Also does the retake have to be within the 5 day period?

untold jackal Oct 7, 2025, 12:55 AM
