!process bb ghost 1 week after r1

[jaunty zinc]

How did ur interview go? Even I gave mine on Wednesday

[rough mason]

Did u send a follow up? I'm approaching 1 week as well

[spark bronze]

i thought it was ok like 7/10

-behavioral went well got to yap a lot
-solved problem w greedy solution
-adjusted algo for dp with new input constraints in their follow up question
-fucked up run time analysis

[spark bronze]

no mainly because i think they don’t usually ghost

but after COB i might

[rough mason]

was ur question tagged?

I heard some ppl hear back from 1-2 weeks and apparently they are fast with rejections (1-2 days). But i also dk if thats anecdotal evidence or a general policy on bloomberg side

[spark bronze]

heard the same

[spark bronze]

no it was not

but i also haven’t seen anyone say the got rejected recently and they’ve definitely done a big bulk of round 1s recently

[rough mason]

Yeah i also got 1/2 untagged. Pushed for space optimized and I came up with a couple of ideas. I was eventually guided toward the most space optimized solution.

[spark bronze]

yeah i hear that’s the case usually

1/2 tagged per round

and the other untagged

[rough mason]

oh dang so half.

[spark bronze]

so 3/6 seems to be the ratio

[rough mason]

i know some ppl got 3/4 tagged

so def not all the time 3/6

[spark bronze]

yea i’ve heard different things too

but that’s what i’ve seen the most
of

just gonna keep prepping in case i go through

[rough mason]

i think it really varies tbh. Are you doing 3 month tagged

im resuming the 3 month tagged tmr. Im taking today to review the questions I did previously

[spark bronze]

i’m doing last 30

once i finish

ima do a couple last 3

[rough mason]

did you communicate your thought process as you code?

[spark bronze]

it’s usually the same set of topics so i feel like after a while it’s diminishing returns say compared to studying sd

[spark bronze]

yeah i didn’t code until i explained my solution

[spark bronze]

another anecdote just asked a friend who interviewed in nov, rejected within 2 days

[karmic tapir]

j got rej after r1

solved 1st prob and then did 2nd un omptimized but needed hint for optimized

got rej today, took r1 on friday

[rough mason]

[spark bronze]
