How bad

crisp berry
#

i kinda coded the solution up in last 5 mins, when i realized what the interviewer was really wanting from me

#

also i got interrupted by someone from IT department who lifted my laptop mid coding interview

quasi sparrow
#

Did you finish the code? And how hard was the problem

crisp berry
#

backtracking hard

crisp berry
quasi sparrow
#

you might be through or maybe even a r3

crisp berry
#

whaaat

quasi sparrow
#

heavily depends on the interviewer

crisp berry
#

is r3 in person or online

quasi sparrow
#

Online

crisp berry
#

the interviewer was autistic btw

quasi sparrow
#

💀

#

pray to your favorite god

crisp berry
#

so idk how i feel about him. it felt like he was in a rush even before the interview started

sour solar
#

google is picky

#

likely a rej or ur just enough on the fence that they ask for an r3

quasi sparrow
crisp berry
#

do they take r1 techs into consideration?
i had 2 technicals in r1

sour solar
#

oh wtf

quasi sparrow
#

Sit tight for 2-6 weeks and expect a rejection

sour solar
#

r1 is usually 1 tech 1 behav

crisp berry
#

normally its 1 tech and 1 googly right
for me i had 2 tech and 1 googlyness

quasi sparrow
#

If you get through celebrate

sour solar
#

whoa what

#

r1 was 2 techs and 1 googlyness?

#

crisp berry
#

quasi sparrow
#

sour solar
#

#

crisp berry
#

quasi sparrow
#

You might be l4

crisp berry
sour solar
#

#

crisp berry
#

r2 were 2 techs

#

1 graph 1 backtracking

sour solar
#

crisp berry
#

i dont mind being downleveled to L3 if i get through

#

lol

sour solar
crisp berry
#

university grad yes

sour solar
#

ah okay im guessing l3 = uni, l4 = slightly above uni grad?

#

oh

crisp berry
#

is it coz im masters

sour solar
#

perhaps

#

idk

crisp berry
#

yeah maybe

sour solar
#

i had r1 way back in nov be 1 tech 1 googlyness

quasi sparrow
sour solar
crisp berry
#

but i had ppl from my masters program...even they had 1tech 1 googly

quasi sparrow
#

Im masters as well and im l3

crisp berry
#

only i had 2 techs in r1

quasi sparrow
#

So you got a new tech

#

Just to be sure

crisp berry
sour solar
#

what does lnh/lh mean?

crisp berry
#

lean hire

#

i asked gemini if thats what google does
but gemini said they preschedule interviews

quasi sparrow
#

They don’t do 2 tech r1

#

So you might be a rare case

#

Google is pretty standard tho

crisp berry
quasi sparrow
#

So surprising to hear conflicting experience

crisp berry
#

bro i know a guy who "passed" r1 interviews and then rejected

quasi sparrow
#

crazy

crisp berry
#

they sent him passed congrats email

#

and then rejection

quasi sparrow
#

bro got finessed

#

Everyone ik had good experiences

#

You’re all rare cases ig💀

crisp berry
#

😭 😭 😭

quasi sparrow
#

Anyway chill up and sit tight

#

You might be waiting for a while

crisp berry
#

bro my r1 got rescheduled 4 times

#

im truly rarare

#

my proc started in October

quasi sparrow
#

Crazy

sour solar
#

dude wtf thats nuts

#

glad ur intvs finally happened tho lol

quasi sparrow
#

Bro been asking for harder battles to god

sour solar
#

god said ur their strongest soldier time to give a real challenge

crisp berry
#

i met one UCLA girl in office, her inperson got rescheduled "after" she flew and landed in office

#

and they sent her back

sour solar
#

dawg what 🥀

#

waste of company resources ong

crisp berry
#

true

sour solar
#

my r1 tech had to be rescheduled for later bc my intvw didnt show up

#

google is so unserious when it comes to interviewing new grads

gleaming epoch
crisp berry
#

oh and in r1 1st tech they asked me 3 problems💀

slow pelican
#

Bruh what

quasi sparrow
#

bro

slow pelican
#

3??

quasi sparrow
#

You’re trolling

#

Was it 3 fizz buzz

slow pelican
#

Lmao

quasi sparrow
#

How did you have time to do 3

crisp berry
#

im not trolling

crisp berry
gleaming epoch
#

follow ups?

heady junco
#

3r1😭😭

quasi sparrow
#

you and the interviewer got into a who’s more autistic challenge

#

and apparently you won

crisp berry
quasi sparrow
#

Are you considering follow ups to be standalone questions ?

#

Or are you talking about 3 separate questions

crisp berry
#

no no they were not follow-ups
he pasted 3 different questions

#

all 3 different graph problems

#

normally it’s 1 main question
with different parts right?

quasi sparrow
#

were the questions related to some sorts or completely different problems

crisp berry
#

not related

quasi sparrow
#

google might not want you bro

#

did you commit war crimes or something

crisp berry
#

maybe they want me by keeping so many tech rounds

quasi sparrow
#

holy cope

gleaming epoch
#

nah autistic interviewer and a mid solution is a hire

#

trust

graceful stream
#

Just fyi that may be the reason

#

He ended up getting rejected after the 2nd r1 tech tho cus he bombed the 2nd one

crisp berry
#

so i’m guessing i’m gonna have one more round?

#

had 4 techs already
i’m sure 2 of them are strong
and 1 borderline
and 1 bad/mid

graceful stream
#

Hard to say cus it’s interviewer dependent

crisp berry
#

what about googlyness round i’m sure that was strong

graceful stream
#

I would say if u got a LH or below it may be another round

#

They mostly just give out Hs for that

#

Like everyone gets one unless ur a bot

#

I think mine were H LH SH for the technicals and H for the behavioral and I passed without another so idk

#

He also gave u 3 problems so idk lol

#

Legit just up to what bro writes

crisp berry
#

u just had 3 techs right

#

so they had a tie breaker

#

mine is 4 so even

#

i’m just gonna pray 🙏

Guys have r1 on 24th I am really afraid and as I dont know where to start!! Just completed backtracking from neetcode 150 and started graphs!! Ps: I have solved almost those graphs problems in November so it’s rusty!!

graceful stream
graceful stream
#

U have 3 weeks so u should have time

#

Google can ask basically anything but generally its topics from the NC150

lapis thistle
#

Okay!! Also does the leetcode tagged from Google are helpful? Also any topics priority which you think is Google favourite and I should work more on?

graceful stream
#

Every single question on leetcode is google tagged I feel lol

#

Would only recommend after the NC150

#

As for topics I’ve heard graphs and trees are the most common

#

But I got asked bitwise dp twice, backtracking, and binary search

#

So it’s pretty rng I feel

crisp berry
#

or are u in tm

graceful stream
#

TM

crisp berry
graceful stream
#

No 😭

#

Google or bust

crisp berry
#

man…

graceful stream
#

Idek how tbh

crisp berry
#

someone had 1 strong onsite and 1 meh onsite
and they got rejected

that means i’m gonna get rejected🙂

lapis thistle
#

Wait bitwise dp!!!

graceful stream
#

But my meh round was a LC med backtracking and then a completely separate LC hard bitwise dp that I couldn’t finish the code for

#

But the interviewer was like hella chill throughout and told me I did well in the end so idk

graceful stream
#

But it is possible lol wouldn’t worry too much about it

rapid rivet
crisp berry
graceful stream
#

Yea nothing to do but wait

graceful stream
rapid rivet
#

reading all of this makes me realize how cooked i am if i pass OA

graceful stream
#

Yea gotta start the NC grind lol

rapid rivet
#

does OA have to be pretty optimal?

#

I’m tryna solve in O(n^2) thanospog

graceful stream
#

No idea I did both optimal

#

Idk if I’ve seen anyone like fail the OA imma be honest

crisp berry
#

i just really hope my 1st tech r2 gives me SH😭🙏

graceful stream
#

I think my R2 2nd interview was a SH

#

It was a hard and I finished 10 minutes early with an optimization that solved both of her follow ups b4 she asked them

#

So it may have saved me

rapid rivet
#

I ain’t ever done a hard in my life 💀 rip

#

Good luck

crisp berry
graceful stream
#

It’s googles interview rating system

#

SH
H
LH
LNH
NH

#

U typically need H or above average across all rounds to pass cleanly

lapis thistle
#

Oh!! Okay!!!

slow pelican
#

Wait how do u know what rating u got

#

Do they tell u after r2?

crisp berry
#

nope, purely based on interview experience

#

vibes

crisp berry
#

SPE said shes happy to have 1 more coding round (because i experienced interruption in 2nd tech r2)

#

what to do

#

i told her, if my current packet strong enough to move to TM (she should not schedule)
if its not strng enough then to schedule one more

graceful stream
#

wait did she prompt u for another round or did u email like "I had interruptions in 2nd tech r2" and then she responded?

crisp berry
graceful stream
#

weird yea idk

graceful stream
crisp berry
#

lets see what she replies

graceful stream
#

so I think just wait to see what she says and take the extra round if she pushes for sure

crisp berry
#

yep

crisp berry
graceful stream
#

Cooked yea good luck

#

If u think the rounds went overall well idk if I would

#

Unless ur confident that u will do well on a r3

#

Cus if u do bad on the r3 it may sink u

#

Up to u tho

crisp berry
#

🙂 gonna risk it

crisp berry
#

ROUND 3 was SEXY AS FUCK

#

gave me 3 problems
solved all 3 optimally 🔥🔥🔥

#

he even joked at the end saying
“onto the next question”💀 and then laughed when i finished the 3rd problem

graceful stream
#

Goated
