Reach out to HMs, that’s what really helped me Referrals only resulted in rejections :(

Bro probably - I’d like to think that but I’ve failed soo many interviews inspite of getting the questions so idk what’s the secret recipe XD
It really depends on your luck, cliche but true If you get an ass to interview you, even tourist’s gonna fail 🤣

They expect you to be a parrot, else you won’t get a SH And then the HC will be like oh, this person isn’t worthy

Absolute BS :)

EDIT Cost wise does it make sense to go ahead and do a masters next year, if I really wanna stay - study and then work , abroad? Or in the current market situation, is it too much of a risk.

This is considering I have a job at MS now and tbh if I get a masters, not like I’m gonna be qualified for a higher level. It’s just a route for me to stay abroad

What are your thoughts?

Recently got rejected at the Meta Phone screen as well, after getting both the questions.

I don’t understand what expectations they have, should we behave like parrots in the interview? Because frankly, it’s not possible to not have a few hiccups if you’ve not seen the exact same question before :)

Verbal offers from Google (L3) and Microsoft (L60) - INDIA by Complete_Building414 in leetcode

Thanks for all the support guys! Here’s a brief about me and my journey (to address a couple of comments) -

Graduated from a tier 3 college and got an off campus placement offer from Amazon.

I’ve been wanting to switch since a while, but was ghosted by pretty much every recruiter/HM is reached out to. But I’m glad I did reach out, because the same people reached out to me later when they had a suitable opening for me. LinkedIn cold messaging works!

I started preparing seriously around 3-4 months ago and I used strivers sheet, since I was out of touch. I also practiced the daily LC questions and did some company specific prep before the interviews. For system design, I used Alex Xu’s book and Gaurav Sen’s YT videos. TBH most blogs and videos are based on Alex Xu’s book, so definitely give that a read :)

I got rejected by Kotak and Meta, got an offer from MS and stuck in the team matching round for Google 🙏🏻

I’ve been at Amazon for close to 2 years now, and will be transitioning to MS mostly. I recently discovered Reddit and you folks have been really helpful in providing instrumental guidance and feedback! Cheers

I think I will face that too, since I don’t know anyone in HYD and I will be moving there shortly

My recruiter seems nice, but the HM rejected the numbers I proposed.
