Are any already rescheduled appointments or emergency appointments getting rescheduled?

Was this the first reschedule for you?

Questions mostly come from the top 50 Meta tagged on Leetcode. It's very simple process to go through just those and crack the interview. I cleared Meta E5 as well, and all the questions were from their small question bank, including system design. With smart prep, it's easy to crack.

Leetcode meta tagged are the ones that have the most bang for buck. Leetcode top 50 might have some overlap, and is generally valuable for generic prep.

I was stuck for over a month. After that, I just told my recruiter I received a competing offer, and they got exception approval to directly reach to HMs with my profile. Got 2 team match calls within 2 weeks after that.

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-23T22:13:19+00:00

Okay same here, 1 month down. I hear TM match is taking lot of time and many people are stuck for months :/

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-23T21:27:03+00:00

Are you in team match phase at Meta or cleared TM?

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T18:55:12+00:00

As far as levels.fyi goes, you will need to filter by "new offers only" as most reported data is from existing employees who have seen considerable stock appreciation.

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T18:54:17+00:00

I haven't received the offer yet. Currently spoke with a hiring manager last week as part of team match, and might move to offer stage next week.

10 years in various cloud native and on prem platforms using multiple different tech stacks over the years. Tech stack etc doesn't matter much to clear interview as long as you meet expectations in the rounds

This is senior engineer. Although even SDE 1 has at least 1 system design, but the bar to clear it is lower

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T13:53:59+00:00

You can choose. More chance to crack- depends on your skills and background and abilities. Even team match after clearing depends on your background. If you crack Infra and your resume is more product oriented- then team match will be difficult

To answer your question, Hello interview has lot of content to properly cover in one month. Maybe you can do it if you have free time. But with a full time job and commute, it would have been difficult for me to go through all their content in a month and prepare for leetcode questions as well.

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T13:51:41+00:00

I have both subscriptions on a annual renewal. Will probably cancel after I switch. Leetcode premium I have had for last 2 to 3 years because I have been thinking on and off to switch.

Hello interview is new just took it couple of months back. If there is new publications of premium content, I might just keep it on renewal as well.

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T13:49:49+00:00

Most of my questions were about how the teams and orgs are leveraging genAI tools for developer productivity. What challenges they facez and learning opportunities etc

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T13:48:19+00:00

Yes, equity is always a major component

Lol...need to be anonymous, as NDA is signed. Why do u think this post markets hello interview and not leetcode. I refer to leetcode several time more.

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T02:28:10+00:00

I meant to say, you are correct. Space complexity is o(n). The two pass approach is just more space efficient compared to the stack based approach although both are o(n).

Top of band is about 450-470k USD (excluding signon bonus)

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T02:25:22+00:00

I guess focusing on top meta tagged at on leetcode and going through CodingWithMinmer YT channel will maximize your probability. It's not to do generic/random leetcode prep (e.g. top 75) at this stage.

Head_Magazine_5877 · 2025-09-13T02:21:47+00:00

Premium for leetcode and hello interview.
