So, 1 behavioural 3 tech
Behavioural - super easy

Tech 1

• array - ad-hoc non tagged easy - got optimal
• top k tagged - used quick select - got optimal

Tech 2

• some variation of a tagged parenthesis-based medium question - got optimal O(n) time and O(1) space
• binary search medium tagged- got optimal

Tech 3

• variation of ad-hoc medium tagged
  • coded O(nlgn) time and O(1) space
  • When he asked if I could improve time - I coded O(n) space and O(n) time - so optimal
• medium-hard merge interval question - not top 50 tagged
  • I struggled on this one - I got the optimal solution verbally but didn't get to coding it

Follow-up - for messing up on the last question lmaoo

• ad-hoc medium tagged - got optimal
• top-k - I told him I had a top-k previously - but he was like code it up anyway - got optimal - he didn't want me to test so he could throw in another question
• two heaps - hard not top 50 tagged - got optimal
• answered extra follow up verbally
• probably my best interview ever lmaooo

[rare veldt]

Dude

U got optimal

[tardy stag]

wtf man, this is bullshit

[rare veldt]

on everything?

The fuck is this bullshit

[tardy stag]

[rare veldt]

fucking merge hard

holy fuck

ur actually cracked as shit

[novel wedge]

well i didn't get to coding one smh

[rare veldt]

bro

i wouldn't even know where to stat

HALF of those

and I fuckin got remove paren #1 tagged on phone

[normal storm]

damn

[rare veldt]

and fucking messed up and got onsite somehow

i have no fuckin chance

[violet kite]

Rng to whole another level

[novel wedge]

i just got unlucky with the merge interval smh

[rare veldt]

• medium-hard merge interval question - not top 50 tagged
  • I struggled one this one - I got the optimal solution verbally but didn't get to coding it

what the fuck

i am so fucked.

[rich wharf]

damn

i just did my first phone onsite

got both but wasnt good at communication

[pliant lily]

sorry to hear

when you say medium-hard merge interval question, you mean NOT the merge intervals question on LC? but instead a variation of it?

[strong cipher]

What does ad-hoc mean?

[novel wedge]

yea like u could use a similar approach

[novel wedge]

like the questions doesn't really have a pattern - i don't have a good category for it

[tardy stag]

my best guess would be bold tag a string

[novel wedge]

it's not - it's like really low in the list - like asked by Fb 4 times - and it was a variation of the LC question

[tardy stag]

interesting

[novel wedge]

u can reason yourself to the solution - i just didn't have enough time smh

[tardy stag]

fb interviews always tricky with time

almost to the point where i feel like they just want u to have solved the problem already kind of fast

[river plaza]

wtf fb is so bullshit

[rare veldt]

For real

Like how do you do this in 45 mins

That’s absurd

[ember osprey]

i basically had same performance as you on my pinterest final

and the difficulties were about the same, maybe a tad easier

these big tech interviews are brutal and yeah unfortunately, working solution is min bar

[novel wedge]

I guess I was under the impression a follow-up was supposed to be the deciding interview
And, I am not sure how I could have done any better on it lmaoooo

[river plaza]

its so rng

[sly pollen]

im so confused

like the rng

[knotty plinth]

How do they decide if u get 2 techs or 3?

[sly pollen]

if you do all interviews in 1 day you get 2 techs else 3 if you do multiple days
