#

And how long has it been

frank condor
#

slim temple
#

london @frank condor

#

@abstract aurora was pretty long compared to what others got, some had 30 minutes of behavioural then questions , i got around 45 minutes of behavioural then i took 30 minutes for questions

frank condor
#

For London too

#

Kinda cooked

slim temple
#

talked about motivation for cs, the usual culture fit things (conflict, add value) etc and my intern projects and personal projects, was very open ended so i tried to highlight technical (design tradeoffs) while saucing some behavioural in there

slim temple
frank condor
#

ah

#

I’m applying for Bloomberg grad so kinda stressed

#

But will do my best

slim temple
#

intern and new grad is the same

frank condor
#

What sys design resources did u use

slim temple
#

dont worry

frank condor
#

Yeah

#

I know people who are Bloomberg swe

#

I have a referral

slim temple
#

i just followed a framework

frank condor
#

😭

#

Ah yeah

#

Requirements -> core entities

#

what else

slim temple
#

just leaned on my swe experiences to explain tradeoffs

#

which helped alot

frank condor
#

requirements -> entities -> api/interface -> hld

#

Is that the framework?

slim temple
#

yea mine skipped allat 😂

frank condor
#

Imma read hellointerview

#

System design in a hurry

slim temple
#

i started with requirements, business cases then he asked me to write the login, so thats hwen i got into jwt / session all that jazz

frank condor
#

Wait did u write the code?

slim temple
#

then we went into the crux which was a content storage system

frank condor
#

Or just draw HLD

slim temple
#

its a excalidraw page

frank condor
#

Ah

#

When ya apply?

#

and are u uk uni student?

slim temple
slim temple
slim temple
frank condor
#

Coz I only had the apply links on Monday

#

Aite

No problem

slim temple
frank condor
#

Dang

#

Heard Bloomberg interviews are fun

slim temple
#

so its really just a convo but yea defo start with the requirements

#

really rng

#

had some friend swho got order book

frank condor
#

how long did it take for u to hear back from r1 to virtual onsite?

slim temple
#

thent hey were asked to write code

slim temple
frank condor
#

ah then how long did u have to prep for virtual onsite

#

I hear they give u time to prep

#

Like for me i can hit bb tagged in 2 weeks

slim temple
#

yea i think thats sufficient

#

thats along what i did

#

i applied 7sep, got 1st round on 15sep

frank condor
#

like 3 months or 30 days?

slim temple
#

then just did the tagged

#

its nth crazy, just that dont expect u to solve it and it be wraps

#

they will increase the complexity

frank condor
#

Ah

slim temple
#

so it might be optimal to stall

frank condor
#

Fairs

slim temple
#

depending on how fast u think u can code

frank condor
#

I hear the interviewers are nice

#

yeah I’ll do some acting I guess

#

just pretend I never see the question

slim temple
#

i ended up having to get to a dp

#

because i did very quickly

frank condor
#

fuck

slim temple
#

from a normal graph question

frank condor
#

Is that for r1?

slim temple
#

r2

#

the first round of the superday

#

technical

frank condor
#

I hear they ask med for both r1/2

slim temple
#

yea

frank condor
#

One of the ex interns I talked to said that

slim temple
#

its the tagged really

frank condor
#

said r1 is leetcode
R2 is harder lc

#

R3 I’ll pray I yap well

#

R4 same

slim temple
#

r1 they accept bruteforce

frank condor
#

R5 Ill glaze Bloomberg and the em

slim temple
#

r2 i think me solving the progression which was just a like walls and gates (?) i tihnk the leetcode question

frank condor
#

Sounds like a good game plan ig

slim temple
#

then he changed it to dp, where i had to find minimum steps to gate

#

so yea not advisable to solve quickly

slim temple
#

atb tho u got it

frank condor
#

thanks man

#

what happened during EM btw?

#

and for HR?
