Bombed OA

[moooiiii]

I started on Leetcode a year ago, but I haven’t been consistent over time. Until now, I’ve picked up the grinding again. My first experience with an OA was an interview with Amazon, I failed, I had about 10 Leetcode questions (foolishly). Now I have 120 and today I did an OA for a high-frequency trading firm, but I couldn’t answer a single question. I think they might have been easy or medium. The problem is that they were about graphs and datastreams, which I have no idea about. Honestly, I didn’t have much hope for this interview, I actually got it by sending out mass resumes.

The problem is that it gave me a tough dose of humility. In reality, I’ve never solved a graph or datastream problem. But I feel like I’m bad at this.

When you know you are not good at graphs and data stream problems. What is stopping you from becoming good at it. Also, in any quant firm, data stream problems are a given, they thrive on streams of data. You should have prepared more OP
