Was it 2 questions for each of the 3 technicals?

when they first reached out to you, did they ask to schedule a 60 minute call with a member of the team?
past crane
Was it 2 questions for each of the 3 technicals?
No it wasn’t two technicals per interview, I remember 2 of them had two questions and one of them was 1 question with a follow up
But I remember one of the ones with 2 questions I got the the second question and didn’t have time to fully code everything out but I gave the pseudo code approach
And they were like it’s fine cuz I know the intro part before we started coding was long so they were like no worries no need to code everything out

I lowk thought I didn’t do well, it was very so and so. My interviewer asked me to keep the conversation very casual, it was a run through of my resume and then a run through of their experience with bbg, and then he challenged me about why Bloomberg specifically cuz he said based off of my previous experiences I was not a good fit for bbg and more of a good fit for startups or early stage companies. I thought my answer to that was ass as it was pretty ambiguous, and then he asked me why I would choose bbg over faang…anyways after that he asked a small sys design q related to my resume which I did well on
arctic bluff
Thank you!
past crane
Yea good luck!! I would say for sys design prep from ur resume, let’s say you did some sort of project, expect them to create a similar scenario related to Bloomberg and ask what would be a good design for executing that task
They won’t ask anything you don’t claim to know I think

nice I have r1 coming up - I know its technical but do they ask anything else in the r1 (other than leetcode) @past crane
past crane
Not really, they ask for like a professional overview initially and the interviewer probs is gonna ask a q about something you worked on on ur resume
sinful locust
gotcha gotcha - yeah I'm just doing the leetcode tagged for bloomberg to prep for the technical part
past crane
Be prepared to answer it thoroughly, explain it well and make sure the interviewer can understand the project you worked on, I think they really care about how good of an explainer you are
Like wether you can explain a complicated topic and break it down into more understandable points that paint the picture
Good luck bezzy!
