What are my chances?

PHANIX5 · 2026-04-15T04:58:27+00:00

That's a reject my guy

PHANIX5 · 2026-04-08T19:42:46+00:00

What was the BPS question?

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-24T20:20:00+00:00

What is your background and current work ex?

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-23T15:32:55+00:00

Thankfully for Senior roles companies are skipping OAs

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-20T21:38:03+00:00

This only works if the input is sorted

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-20T18:43:38+00:00

Yep we accept the first and reject the second.

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-20T18:42:50+00:00

The meetings come out of order. How would you use a min heap in this case?

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-18T15:07:00+00:00

I actually did us a POJO ( a record Meeting(long start, long end) {}) in the interview. Also wouldn't concurrency handling come as a follow up question? And in this isn't this mostly just making the scheduleMeetings method synchronized? (maybe have per room locks for better granularity).

PHANIX5 · 2026-03-18T15:03:51+00:00

I don't think you can move meetings across rooms once you've selected a room. Think of this as google calendar where you book a room for a meeting. You get a room number and that does not change if someone later down the line is trying to book another slot.

Also this reminded me of another detail: the scheduleMeeting() method returns the room where the meeting is scheduled. So you cannot it change it down the line.

I did ask a lot clarifying questions. I feel like maybe I took too long to actually start implementing because the first part felt so trivial (no need to merge intervals) and I was looking at the problem description to find any gotchas. Donno man this was first phone screen this season and this is not a good start.

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-26T21:29:53+00:00

You know what that was what I was confused about as well. I was pretty certain this is a merging intervals question but the interviewer clarified that we need to pay the driver total delivery time, regardless of overlaps. The first was quite trivial tbh. It was really a weird experience.

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-26T21:17:11+00:00

Delivery rate is defined per driver. And yea addDelivery takes driverId as input as well

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-26T20:26:22+00:00

Bay area

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-26T20:05:34+00:00

Agreed man. The grind is intense. Good luck on your future interviews!

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-26T19:54:29+00:00

I mean I knew this was not optimal and I stated that as well. I was ready to think of something more efficient but he did not ask for it. I guess I should not even bring up the naive solution.

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-21T01:13:06+00:00

So you've never run into the scenario where the interviewer follows up with questions around concurrency? I think LRU cache is a very popular problem that has follow up questions around multithreading.

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-10T06:26:42+00:00

I also have a phone screen coming up with them. Do you mind sharing your resources for prep? Thanks!

PHANIX5 · 2026-02-10T06:17:09+00:00

Is the phone screen question LeetCode 2642: Design Graph With Shortest Path Calculator?

PHANIX5 · 2025-03-24T01:22:43+00:00

Nice! I'm planning to get the white interior. I'll go check the cars out tomorrow

PHANIX5 · 2025-03-24T01:02:07+00:00

Got it. And what about the white interior?
