#

feels like such a meme to ask but when did you do your final round?

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

my final round was last Tuesday/Wednesday

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

ah alright

#

mine was yesterday, was wondering if you were in the batch that interviewed

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:42 AM

#

oh. lol sry. i thought this was the meta thing

#

my microsoft one was thursday

#

😅

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:42 AM

#

ah alright lol

#

sorry to hear about the rejection

#

i just wanna get a response, it's killing me

#

i also thought i did well, but might not've

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

🥲 yea hopefully i get an offer from somewhere

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

did you get the optimal solution for all the problems?

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

🤞 best of luck on your end. i was nervous too, checking the action center daily but i think they said they should get back to you at most within 2 weeks

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

desert moon did you get the optimal solution for all the problems?

i got optimal for 2/4, which is probably why i got rejected tbh

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

the last dude i talked to (manager of some sort) said i should hear back within a week typically

#

ah

#

i got 5/5 luckily

#

and the last dude really liked me

#

idk if that's the hiring manager though?

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

well, better odds than me so 🤞

#

if you had 5 then i think it might be the hiring manager

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

ah no i had 4

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

bc i only had 4 scheduled

#

ohhh. my bad

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:45 AM

#

idk if they only do 4 for new grads? i'd heard it changed from somewhere

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:45 AM

#

they do 4

#

but if it's like 50/50, then they have a 5th, from what I've heard

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:45 AM

#

last dude seemed to be trying to assess me for culture fit and communication while doing the problem

#

so idk

#

we just chatted about stuff for the first like 20 minutes then did a relatively easy one at the end

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

yeah i did that with like 2 of my interviewers

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

was your last one a manager?

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

how did you prep btw? Blind 75 or microsoft tagged?

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

uhh

#

#

studied a few data structures i was rusty on

subtle kraken Jan 26, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

hug

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

desert moon was your last one a manager?

kinda. was like apparently a deep-domain expert in graphics so probably a team lead or sth

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:48 AM

#

i've done a bit of leetcode and that samurai site thing in the past

#

honestly didn't do more than 10 practice leetcodes

#

at least in the past 2 months

#

maybe < 15

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:48 AM

#

geniuses everywhere

#

🥲

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:49 AM

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

frosty hawk he/she says after getting 5/5 optimal

frosty hawk Jan 26, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

fingers crossed for your offer 🤞

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

though i went down like... a bad rabbit hole for one and made this really messy solution before coming up with the optimal, but didn't have time to code it

#

so idk

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

frosty hawk fingers crossed for your offer 🤞

thanks!

#

sorry for the interrogation lol

kind osprey Jan 26, 2022, 2:05 AM

One of the people is an AA

#

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:09 AM

#

Think so? Last one was a manager and he was like

#

Very very happy with me

#

Though idk if he was the most senior of the bunch

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

kind osprey Jan 26, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

I aced my 4 rounds and got the portal change the next day

#

if it changes to completed ur good, and if u solved the problem there should be nothing to worry about

#

all of them are managers I think

#

at least seniors a

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

I figured out the optimal solution for each of the questions

kind osprey Jan 26, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

did u have 5 rounds or 4

#

why are u saying 5/5

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

though didn't get to implement it, had to explain a bit

#

for one of the interviews i did two

#

if im remembering correctly

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:12 AM

#

kind osprey did u have 5 rounds or 4

i had 4

kind osprey Jan 26, 2022, 2:12 AM

#

nice, do u remmeber what org u wer einterviewing with

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:12 AM

#

didnt say anything about an org

#

it was a new grad rotational program hiring interview

#

pretty much all the interviewers said that it's unlikely we'd be working together

#

their focuses seemed to be all over the place

desert moon Jan 26, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

kind osprey if it changes to completed ur good, and if u solved the problem there should be ...

but yeah, no changes yet. im kinda expecting a response by the end of the week?

#

hushed sinew Jan 26, 2022, 5:14 AM

#

Damn im still waiting on a response too

#
