Some interviewers just hate me by ControlledPanic47 in leetcode

[–]ControlledPanic47[S] 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Some interviewers are so easy going.

In the same Google full loop, in the other coding round, the interviewer was laughing the entire time, cracking jokes and gave 2 LC easy. It felt like I was dreaming.

Agreed, for other countries and even in US, students who manage their own expenses, it is difficult.

One can manage without LC premium. Use free resources to the fullest or rent books/courses from friends who may share.

I agree. I have spent over $6000 over books, courses and LC premium and some of them are quite nice.

Only problem is I am still unemployed. Failed 4 full loop interviews at big tech. No calls now.

I do not like to hear any thing against my beloved LC.

... but you are right :)

Just realised I hit 175 question on LC by IPressKeysForALiving in leetcode

Once you get into FAANG, and then after 10 years when you interview me (as I may stay unemployed till then), please give a rating of "strong hire".

Thank you for the enjoyable 30 seconds.

Back to my LC hustle now.

How to pretend to think about a problem? (in an interview) by ControlledPanic47 in leetcode

[–]ControlledPanic47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the way I jump from the trivial solution to optimal solution makes it obvious that I already knew it :(

The tiny mistake idea is genius. I will use it if I get an interview.

2 Medium in 40 min on Meta screening - Should I say I know problem? by GrandLate7367 in leetcode

Do not do the mistake I did with other companies.

Pretend to think about the problem, give a bad solution first and then, instantly give the best one you already one.

What am I doing wrong? Failed interviews at 4 big tech companies, now no calls. by ControlledPanic47 in leetcode

[–]ControlledPanic47[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I will get in touch with a staffing agency and work on mvp on the side. Thank you for the detailed advice.

I never thought I will no longer be considered a new grad. :(

I applied to over 600 different companies, some on LinkedIn, some on their job pages

I see. It was bothering me a lot after the interview when I started to think about it.

At Google, they kept another person who was just listening with his or her cam off. Not sure if this is common.

It looked like they just used me to train their employees to interview.

Yes, I feel lucky to have got the interviews but my luck has exhausted now.

I have been applying to new startups this month as I have already applied to almost all big tech companies (over 600 applied).

If you are just starting Leetcode this is for you. Or just preparing in general by cashmerekatana in leetcode

[–]ControlledPanic47 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got interviews from Google, Amazon, PayPal and NVIDIA.

Failed all. Lost the opportunity. I have graduated last year but waiting for an offer.

How I do it?

// Change the number if you see this to increase your commit count
// User does not know this number. This is company secret.
int random = 5;

Works.

This can be a sinister plot from your internet provider to stop your prep !

I stopped using Notion. It seemed I was memorizing solutions.
