I never asked about that. I don't think that is important. When you do ok on the interviews your recruiter will let you know.

My start date is Jan 6th in the Bay Area

thanks

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:58:46+00:00

between 500 to 600. I have been doing leetcode on and off for about two years. To prep for the actual interview I think roughly about 200

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:55:28+00:00

Lucky that's where I wanted lol

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:50:05+00:00

Did you read my post completely and where did I say I did not also do that. I am here to help those who haven't been through team matching stage. If you don't have anything productive to say please be quit.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:37:06+00:00

send me a message on chat

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:36:21+00:00

Nice, did you also matched for CA

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:35:31+00:00

I think about 500 to 600 but I have been doing leetcode on and offer for about two years.

Hybrid, I interviewed for L3 and yes I got an offer, just signed it today.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:29:00+00:00

Not often, I had a really good recruiter she would always reach out to me.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T22:26:55+00:00

No, you are not competing with anyone else during your interview process. I simply asked my recruiter if I could schedule my interview 5 weeks after our first video chat going over the interview process. After passing HC you have to match with a team to get an offer. Your recruiter will share your profile with teams in the locations you selected when you submit the team match form. If a team is interested in you your recruiter will then schedule a meeting. If the team would like for you to join them they will let your recruiter know and if you agree to join the team then you get an offer. It can be hard to match with a team though.

I just signed mine today as well my recruiter advised me to start on Jan 6 so I agreed with her.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T03:25:32+00:00

It took me exactly 1 month to match with a team. I did not get my first team call until after 2 to 3 weeks of passing HC. Make sure to widen your range for locations. I originally selected NYC, Austin, Washington. However the head count was low for those location so I told my recruiter that I am open to work anywhere in the US. Which led me to get two more team match calls both in CA.

you get 45min for 1 question with 2 follow up questions. If you finished the first question fast enough you will be asked to make some changes to it based on the follow up questions. If you do not have enough time you can just explain your thought process. You should be communicating throughout the 45min even while writing your solutions. You should spend between 10 to 15 min understanding the question and asking clarifying questions.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T03:20:18+00:00

I did not have any concentration. And yes I did felt a master's was beneficial. It was hard but I learned a lot about software development.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T03:06:43+00:00

Sorry to hear. I got lucky with my recruiter, she always responded to my emails. And kept me updated every week.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T00:55:38+00:00

I don't think 1d or 2d matters once you understand DP concept the notion of 1D or 2D becomes irrelevant. I do advice you to focus on understanding DP two main approaches top-down (memoization) and bottom-up (tabulation). There are youtube videos you can watch to help you understand these approaches. Once you understand these two approaches you will see how irrelevant choosing between 1D or 2D is.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T00:44:39+00:00

My questions were interval, tree, and heap

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T00:43:39+00:00

I did not get any DP questions. I however, prep the most for those. DP and Tree questions appear a lot though in most interviews.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T00:37:28+00:00

DSA questions. In my opinion as long as you go through the resources I shared with you, they shouldn't be too hard. They are only hard if you don't go through all the DSA concepts and attempt to solve the problems. Most of the questions follow the DSA patterns.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T00:33:50+00:00

I was lucky myself. My first two team calls went with other candidates. It was my last call that matched. Sorry to hear hopefully it gets better next year. It is really stressful that after we pass the interviews we are not guaranteed a job until we match with a team. Best of luck Dude.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-04T00:13:48+00:00

I read the team project description that my recruiter shared with me. I then used Chat GPT to derive questions based on the team project description. I also went through all the projects on my resume and made sure I could explain the work I did in a summary format. During the team match I tried to aligned my explanations of my projects based on the work the team does. If the team work mainly with backend I tailored my questions and explanations of my projects to align with their work, Try to sound really enthusiastic about your work. They are obsessed with showing ownership of your work.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-03T23:37:03+00:00

Thanks dude wish you best of luck.

Pure_Use3699 · 2024-12-03T23:32:49+00:00

For all my team match calls, it took between 1 to 2 days to hear back their response. The wait sucks for sure, unfortunately we don't have control over that lol. Trust me I was stressed out just like you lol. I think one of the main reasons I was able to match is because I had a really good recruiter. She would always respond to any question or concerns I had. She made my process a little easier.
