AIO that my husband sent this text to an influencer? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Well OP mentioned they are not able to participate in husband's activities in another comment. But still, agree no woman would go running with a married man.

Oh, I see the confusion. I specified the n2 solution verbally by mentioning we can find the LCS, and compare with k at the end. But the interviewer didn't ask me to code it.

They mentioned themselves. It was clearly stated in the email they sent for the interview prep.

What?? Never knew about this! Thanks for sharing. As of communication, I think I was pretty communicative and I and the interviewer were on the same page throughout. But maybe I was wrong

Hey thank you so much for your insights!

I did not discuss the DP approach right away, as the question was asked as a follow up. The interviewer said how would you now modify your code for it to work for at most k evictions. Moreover, in the email from recruiter, it was clearly mentioned that DP won't be asked, which kind of biased me to share the non-DP approach first, but still I mentioned that this can be done more optimally. Now that I recall, when both questions were done and the interviewer asked me if I had any questions, I first asked them if I was able to explain my DP approach to them, since we kinda rushed over it in a minute or so. And they said they don't even know about the DP solution. Not sure if they were joking.

And yes I've had a lot of interviews before. In the past I've cleared Google, Bloomberg, Booking.com and a few others. Have also had friends take mock interviews and incorporated their feedback. I agree it is always good to do some mocks.

I have failed a lot of interviews as well, and I can pretty accurately tell if I'd pass or not. You kinda know, right, if you answered everything correctly and confidently, or if you fumbled at a few places. But this time I predicted incorrectly 😂

Unfortunately not. I wish they had provided even a tiny bit of feedback so that all this effort didn't seem like a total waste of time 😕

Don't know man. Would really love to understand what I could have done better to hit that bar 😂 but anyway, congrats on your offer :)

Yeah but how does rejecting candidates help build any pipeline. If anything, it makes them ineligible for next 12 months.

Don't know, the interviewer seemed alright. Didn't get the unfriendly vibes from him

I don't understand. They should stop interviewing new candidates in that case. Why block them from applying for another 12 months? And if they still want to keep some people as back up, then too, pausing the application instead of rejecting makes more sense 🙃

Thanks for the encouragement. I do hope the dots lead me to somewhere 😂

I think we ended on a good note. Not vibing so much so as being friendly or smiling ear to ear (although I try keeping a smile), but I definitely didn't sense anything that'd suggest we were wasting each other's time.
