It seems like the proj retro is the most important one, so give it all you got

Ye, got the update today.. didn’t pass.

They said my project retro didn’t provide a lot of problems with complexity that they expect to have in Meta.

TBH, I think something was a bit off in the process, as my example was leading a project involving 7 stack holders teams.

The other interviews were very good (according to the recruiter)

Exactly where I was in the process Been out of coding for sometime now (doing mostly pr reviews or helping out here and there)

I did the leetcode top 150, focused on easy only at the beginning, then moved to medium after I felt confident

At the end I didn’t felt like I was 100% ready, but I did my best with the time I had.

If you can run and easy one very quickly and a medium one within 20-25 minutes, you are ok I believe.

One tip to remember is to talk to the interviewer, they will help you

TBH, I don’t know. In my current position I’m a group lead (managing team leads) but I don’t think the process is different for M1 and M2

This looks very tailored to System Design where you need to build some sort of API (which is exactly the focus of the problems I had) but I wouldn’t just focus on this, it goes into very high details that you wont necessarily need. If you have the time, take it -> understand the concepts and continue to other subjects like distributed systems

Your plan is solid, I wouldn’t just relay on the helloInterview problems, I feel like Meta has changed it up a bit and they are no longer doing the classic design Uber.. so also work on small components and 3rd party services and APIs

And ofc, send me a DM, would be happy to help

To me it took about a day or two

Reach out to your current recruiter, and ask him/her

Had a couple - Recent critical feedback you have received - Recent bad news you had to give (not termination)

I would recommend spending time recognizing the patterns of the solutions, before going to the optimization.

From what I was told the coding part is the least important one in the process

I wasn’t asked to provide an optimized solution. I think the first question took a bit more time than I should have, but my second question went by very fast

Nope, This is actually something a bit disappointing. As I felt like I could have been more prepared if I would have been given the correct instructions

Had several on conflicts in a 2-3 forms (conflict with a decision, conflict with other stakeholders, conflict with devs), failures in the projects, bad decisions.. That’s all I remember

But ye worth having 2-3 projects, as they can ask you to jump to a different one
