How long after the final?

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

3 full weeks

slow phoenix Oct 19, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

Did they call to reject or was it an email

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:52 PM

#

i think i did pretty decent overall, i missed 2 tiny edge cases in one of them and ran out of time in the last one to code the last if condition

#

call 🥲🥲

#

recruiter hinted at that they basically want to optimized and basically bug free and code should be condition to run fwiw

toxic cloud Oct 19, 2021, 3:54 PM

#

So basically if you dont hear back after 2 weeks, its prolly L

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

i refuse to believe google engineers can write bug free code either tbh, its just all ego

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

it seems like if you don’t get team matching form or whatever that is within a week it’s gonna be a L

I got it two days after final but idk if my recruiter is proactive

#

tawdry whale I got it two days after final but idk if my recruiter is proactive

you just a 🐐 bro

#

There’s no fucking way

#

Idk tbh

#

She said in the essence of time cause I had a deadline

#

I think it was just really proactive

slim turtle Oct 19, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

out of 10

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

Eh 4/5 tbh

#

Oh

slim turtle Oct 19, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

5 is average

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

Um I’d say like 8/10 or 8.5/10

slim turtle Oct 19, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

gotcha, thats still really good

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

One interviewer fucked me tbh

#

But that’s it

slim turtle Oct 19, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

im just scared for follow ups

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

Yeah same monkaS

Nicee, today marks 1 week from my final sadge

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

i had 2 interviewers who joined google 3 months ago, im not going to talk shit but they shouldn’t be doing technical interviews lol

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

tawdry whale One interviewer fucked me tbh

yeah in my last interview i got the entire logic correct minus some indexing part, which i caught while testing it. All I had to do was change index++ to index = rightIndex and that would have solved it.

my interviewers were all recent grads, somehow

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 3:59 PM

#

placid osprey yeah in my last interview i got the entire logic correct minus some indexing par...

Tbh mine had a more trivial solution but I didn’t think about it at the time

#

I think I needed to keep a separate array of hash sets to store indexes and shit

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:00 PM

#

tawdry whale Tbh mine had a more trivial solution but I didn’t think about it at the time

i explained the correct indexing logic the entire time but idk it seemed complicated to include indexing through a string with recursion

slim turtle Oct 19, 2021, 4:01 PM

#

maybe yall werent verbal enough? maybe u have to yell during ur interview

#

to actually have good communication

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:01 PM

#

i think my communication was solid though

#

just that in 2/4 of the interviews i didnt do more than 1 follow up

peak inlet Oct 19, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

placid osprey i explained the correct indexing logic the entire time but idk it seemed complic...

you mean passing the indexes along as a recursion parameter?

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:02 PM

#

peak inlet you mean passing the indexes along as a recursion parameter?

nah, basically had to do some recursive string replacement and the indexing was for the original string indexing as i went thru the string char by char

#

my interviewer initially didnt even realize that recursive string replacements were possible lol, he just pasted the question and then when i clarified that he was like "oh yeah good observation"

#

ii think this is my best shot at a full time job but its google and their gatekeeping interviewers so idk thats always the thing that ruins dreams PepeHands

peak inlet Oct 19, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

well goodluck homie, hope it turns out good for you

slim turtle Oct 19, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

i heard many people had math questions? does that mean i have to brush up on my math

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:05 PM

#

you too guys

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

tawdry whale i think i did pretty decent overall, i missed 2 tiny edge cases in one of them a...

And u got L?? No way

#

We’re all ur other solutions optimal

#

ya and she called me to tell me this which was so odd

#

And did I finish coding all follow ips?

#

i got optimal solution, but i didnt finish coding all the way in one of them

#

and missed some tiny edge cases in another one of them

#

For the first qn?

#

second

#

Damn k

#

Seems u did good

#

Ye

#

Ye I thought ppl got away with one bad interview + some hiccups in others

#

Fk

#

I hope my interviewer has a bad histogram or something

#

So benefit of doubt comes in

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

It’s just bad interviewer. I bet they can’t do that either and that they’ll fail google if they tried again

#

The only people who are technical gods at google are people like Jeff Dean and Sanjay Gemawat

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

We’re ur questions like rlly hard

#

@placid osprey @tawdry whale

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

No they weren’t

#

In my second technical I had only one question

#

He didn’t ask me a follow up so idk

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

I see

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

But I got to the optimal solution right away so maybe that’s why?

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

Did u take up the entire time?

#

Maybe that’s y

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

I took 33 mins on that one

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

Ah k

#

I had one where it was a hard qn

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

This one was like merge intervals

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

And o never expected a follow up but got one

#

I*

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:32 PM

#

So idk I think I fucked up my onsite sadge

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

Ye same

#

Ik I aced 2

#

Did ok on 1 (coded half of follow up)

#

And bad on 1 (suboptimal + no time to explain follow up)

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:33 PM

#

I think I aced 2.5, ok on 1 and Meh on 0.5

#

But overall none of my solutions were suboptimal

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

tawdry whale We’re ur questions like rlly hard

not like impossible but relatively hard, i just had 2 interviewers who barely knew english so it was just really tough in that regard

#

i also had to ask "can you repeat that" "i dont understand can you rephrase" multiple times so it honestly mightve made a bad impression, but there's no workaround for that bc i deadass couldn't understand

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:36 PM

#

one of my interviewers yawned loudly into the microphone

tawdry whale Oct 19, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

placid osprey one of my interviewers yawned loudly into the microphone

hot

placid osprey Oct 19, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

and he was trynna show in his school magazine that hes some empathetic shit just cuz hes black

#

he was pretty relaxed but yawning into a microphone that loudly rattles your candidate. I bet he didn't realize that

#how well would u say u did?
