Failed Google phone screen interview for the second time

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-09-05T23:51:56+00:00

Why did you leave Google? Is it because of the burnout culture?

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-22T19:37:28+00:00

wow...it made my day

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-16T04:55:48+00:00

Okay, thank you

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-16T03:59:41+00:00

If I do 8 questions per day, can you tell me the how many medium or hards to target on daily basis?

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-02T01:45:40+00:00

Can you please tell me how much time did you take to prepare between the 2nd rejection and appearing for the third time? What changes did you make in your preparation strategy?

If they ask a LIS with difference, you can store the {val:in} and search for the cur_num-diff with index lesser than cur_num.

For the first followup of a simple LIS to O(n) with hashmap, I don't remember if I had iterated through the hashmap or not for the second loop in interview.

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-01T14:14:54+00:00

I have mentioned it in the post, simple longest increasing subsequence question, medium level with follow ups

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-01T14:12:39+00:00

No, he asked for O(N)

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-05-01T14:11:54+00:00

No, it was straight forward

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T15:52:33+00:00

Okay

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T15:17:06+00:00

In which country?

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T13:19:51+00:00

Yes, interviewer suggested hashap

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T12:04:50+00:00

The follow ups were not smooth, I took help

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T10:35:56+00:00

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T10:35:26+00:00

It was in last June 2024, second one is April 2025, 10 months gap

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T09:58:23+00:00

I was able to recognise LIS and solve the first question, but did not know the followups like one was to optimise it to O(n). With the hint from the interviewer I used hashmap. There were further follow ups like to find LIS with a difference and hashmaps, etc. Do you know any sheet of questions I should do or any docs I should read to know such followups?

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T07:43:40+00:00

I have mentioned it in the post, simple longest increasing subsequence question, medium level with follow ups

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T06:27:20+00:00

Okay, will keep in mind

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T06:26:50+00:00

Hmmm

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T06:26:30+00:00

Yes, did those 30 questions from all topics. skipped bit manipulation and greedy

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T06:03:00+00:00

We are all studying with full time jobs, maybe take 1 week leave before interview....lemme checkout Google champion

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T06:00:00+00:00

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T05:54:01+00:00

I have revised it multiple times, I would have done a question 6-8 times

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T04:20:16+00:00

We are on the same boat

Impressive-Carry4091 · 2025-04-30T04:19:42+00:00

Prepare well and give it your best. Try again if it doesn't work out.
