oblique shadow IBM has hacker rank

It's a battlefield for me

oblique shadow Mar 9, 2026, 9:44 PM

#

Have you not cleared hacker rank?

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:44 PM

#

oblique shadow Interesting, IDK then I had blitz(30 min, LC) and HM(1hr, behav+tech discussion)

could be bc they squished the 1 hour int into my round 1

#

i think they just have more processes to get through since they announced increase in hiring

oblique shadow Mar 9, 2026, 9:45 PM

#

R2 is final

#

best of luck

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:45 PM

#

my r1 was mostly behavioral and i think my r2 wil be more like ur r1

#

ty 🙏 rly hoping i do well

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 9:46 PM

#

oblique shadow Have you not cleared hacker rank?

tbh probably not. I made the mistake of using C++ because of the LC problem then when it came to the API implementation i had no familiarity with the library and it was probably too late to switch languages

#

massive L

#

Wait I just realized there is one OA I haven't done

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:51 PM

#

is it still open?

#

i got lucky with mine and got 2 easy/med

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 9:51 PM

#

Seems so

Entry Level Software Developer

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

not too late then, they keep giving out interviews

#

its just a slow process

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

This is from january lmao

#

1/23

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

i mean if its open might as well shoot ur shot 💀

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 9:52 PM

#

AH shit nvm

#

I have already taken

#

Must be the same OA

#

Nvm im just cooked

#

Barred from IBM for rest of season im sure unless they do new OA

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

ppl have applied for multiple roles but im not sure if the oa is just saved for all of them

#

see what happens if u try for a diff role bc the oas might be role specific

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 9:57 PM

#

Yeah, at least for 2 roles it was the same OA

#

LC easy and API

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:58 PM

#

oh weird i just had like an easy array question and easy/med string question

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 9:59 PM

#

yeah I really fumbled, API question was simple but I have never done http requests in c++ so i wasted time looking at documentation lol and was 90% there but it didnt run by end of time

#

next time will def do in python

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 9:59 PM

#

ah yea python is the way to go, i couldn't imagine trying to do oa in c++ lol

#

good luck to whatever is coming up for you

quasi ember Mar 9, 2026, 10:00 PM

#

ty ty, hoping to lock in for google R1

#

Gonna try and push to April, its spring break anyway so I can say I am traveling

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 10:59 PM

#

what is blitz?

#

i had r1 but waiting to hear back abt potential r2

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 10:59 PM

#

i think its just their word for short interview

#

30 min

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 11:00 PM

#

did they just schedule ur r2 for u or asked for avail?

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 11:00 PM

#

both which is funny bc they scheduled it before i even confirmed my availability

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 11:00 PM

#

loll

#

ya they just scheduled my r1 randomly without asking for avail

#

did u follow up w ur recruiter and scheduler alot?

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 11:01 PM

#

once with my interviewer and twice w my recruiter

#

no responses for any

#

assuming my interviewer passed along feedback at some point and then scheduler took care of it

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 11:02 PM

#

i had r1 feb 25 , sent ty after interview, and reached out on march 4 and reached out to my interviewer today

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 11:02 PM

#

i had to wait about 3 weeks

#

give it another week or so and reach out again

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 11:02 PM

#

ok ill reach out next week then thankss

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 11:02 PM

#

np good luck

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 11:03 PM

#

good luck on r2! do u know if its behavioral or technical

foggy bear Mar 9, 2026, 11:03 PM

#

#

r1 was behavioral

humble ore Mar 9, 2026, 11:04 PM
