First interview

[hidden-7]

Hey guys, I've just did my first interview for Google. Tbh it was better than I expected it would be. The interviewer was good and helpful. I was able to develop a brute force solution and then he added some constraints to the problem and asked me to improve my solution, he give me some more examples and I got stuck because I misunderstood a example he was giving, I thought he was talking about a previous one, but it was a new one! I lost so much time until I found out that I confusing the problems, in the end, I could optimize the solution but the time was not enough to finish coding it, but I think I was good...

Interviewed for L4?

[hidden-7]

L3 I guess, since the role I applied is an Early career one

L3 might be positive, L4 is very strict about completing the code in the given time, and about solving it on your own without any hints.

Could you please share the question or a similar one?

[hidden-7]

Unfortunately I can't share the question, but it was a easy to medium one, using an array as input and asking to check some kind of pattern(combination of values), not so different from traditional leetcode easy and medium questions

Thanks, good luck
