when did you interview?

[real bay]

last monday

heard back thursday

[lapis thistle]

how were ur intvs and any tips

[real bay]

pretty standard difficulty-wise, lc medium type questions

i was skeptical about the "coding in google docs" thing but i practiced it anyway and i'm glad i did

it was literally a google doc for both interviews where i had to manually tab for spacing and turn off auto-caps 😭

show up 5 mins early since my interviewer joined the google meet 2 mins early and joked about "extra points for being early" but it gave us extra time to start intros and generally felt like a good starting point for vibes

ymmv obv ^

literally a google document

recruiter’s initials?

[real bay]

no they just pasted a plaintext question, it definitely could've been done on hackerrank, coderpad, etc

[lapis thistle]

do they ask a simple question then expand it after ur done, or is it just 1 question off the bat and they have u try to optimize later

[sleek juniper]

its a google doc with monospace font and syntax highlighting

and yeah it gets treated like a regular textbox so your computer might auto-capitalize or insert a period if theres multiple consecutive spaces

[flat radish]

could be either depends on how hard the question is and how long it takes you to solve

[viral birch]

who is your recruiter?

[sleek juniper]

bruh im pretty sure youre supposed to use the interview platform 💀

[real bay]

yeah probably

[real bay]

rather not say

[lapis thistle]

which case was urs

[mental mural]

all good

[real bay]

my first interview was two questions so no follow ups asked, my second interview was one question with multiple follow ups after (discussion based rather than modifying solution)

modifications to the problem + how would my original solution change to accommodate
