I definitely wouldn't call it easy lol

#

I had oa -> recruiter call -> technical #1 -> technical #2 -> full onsite -> technical #3

#

all of their technicals are weird non-leetcode things

#

my second technical was the technical from the onsite

#

and the third technical was because they still weren't sure about me after the onsite lmao

#

my process is technical -> on-site

#

but i have exported

#

expedited

flat sluice Oct 21, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

the normal process is just oa->technical->onsite

frank sparrow Oct 21, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

how hard was first technical @flat sluice ?

flat sluice Oct 21, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

but I would rather do an extra technical than get rejected lol

flat sluice the normal process is just oa->technical->onsite

my recruiter said i’m also skipping a HW round but idk what that is for an ML position

#

they might’ve meant HR

frank sparrow how hard was first technical <@880549231331520552> ?

oh this was for software not ML

#

so you might have different questions

frank sparrow Oct 21, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

but did you have an open book code pair?

flat sluice Oct 21, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

but all of mine were pretty difficult just because I spent like half the interview trying to understand the two-pages-long problem

#

I didn't

frank sparrow Oct 21, 2021, 5:29 PM

#

interesting ok, thank you!

#

would you be open to posting your offer? i wanna see if it’s worth going through with

flat sluice Oct 21, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

sure, I don't have numbers yet because I just heard back from the recruiter but I'll post when I get an update

flat sluice Oct 21, 2021, 6:24 PM

#

#

#

did anyone else think the system design was impossible i am tempted to quit the onsite halfway through

#

yea

#

ive never been more lost in an interview in my life

#

have a 30 min break now but i am tempted to just cut my losses and withdraw

#

no onsite

#

system design

#

yea

#

also had a bug on the first round so didnt get the test cases to work, so im tempted to just give up now bc there is another 90 minutes

#

yea i dont think there is anyway ill pass

#

damn i mean the phone is not bad at all in comparison

#

ive never seen such a hard system design question and ive done two sys design interviews before

#

lmao

#

it was literally like graphics processing which i know nothing about

#

whatever ill just push through bc there is just behavioral and bug round
