!process do both rounds need to go

[stable reef]

in-person or virtual? my second round wasn't perfect but still got offer, so its possible

[fervent glen]

@stable reef how long did you hear back? Is this for Vancouver?

[stable reef]

it took me 1 business day, redmond

[fervent glen]

Also for your second round was it hm? Or with engineer

[stable reef]

i talked about it earlier somewhere in my message history, but basically: correct approach, but code was messy/unfinished (but the problem was also genuinely cursed... idt they ever expected it to actually be solveable tbh)

[fervent glen]

I think I did not my best in my second round as well, I was able to answer correctly but it could have been better, I wonder if that affects their decision

Oh

Mine was one engineer one hm

[stable reef]

second was hm/sdm, first senior sde

[quick cargo]

how were ur behaviorals?

[fervent glen]

Ah so hm and sdm are different 😭 i didn't know

[stable reef]

good i think? sdm really grilled me and kept pushing for better answers for everything

all your interviewers are defintely techincal

[stable reef]

the sdm is the hm for the role

[quick cargo]

wym better answers

like grilled techinical details?

what genai questions did they ask u ?

[stable reef]

he literally wouldnt like an answer and would ask me to iterate on it, change approach, give a better one etc...

pretty heavy grill

first one was chill though

[silver osprey]

what team is urs for?

bcuz i also had a similar experience, SDM round was super easy done in 45 mins, the SDE round was quite hard, got asked a variant of a hard which i struggled with, but with clarifications and a bit here n there i think i got a decent soln? lol

[pearl bane]

I was also wondering how they weigh both interviewers. sde round was very good and sdm behavioral was not too good but technical was good
