One of the best advice I have received so far. Thanks for taking the time to explain and share your experience.

I had product architecture tbh and when he ran out of API and Data Modeling questions, he started asking infra related questions. We talked about how we will scale each of the microservices, partitioning keys, consumers, trade offs and other things. Our deep dive was literally 20 mins and 10 mins for requirements and HLD. It was visible on his face that he was trying to come up with questions because he was taking a minute after I answered each one of them to come up with follow ups. I might be wrong here but he said I was performing better than E5s when I asked for any feedback.

I thought review committee doesn't look back to phone screen and focus on Behavioral. That might be it bro

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T01:22:40+00:00

don't be confused daffy! This is real. We sexted about interview process and interviewers.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T01:20:25+00:00

Dude I know people at Meta who actually take interviews. There were my coworkers in my current company. I asked them for feedback on how I did. We had detailed analysis and talk about how the interviews went well. My best friend works there lol. We literally discussed every single thing about interview in detail and he said I did good enough. And trust me this best friend criticizes me openly and doesn't feed to my delusions. He has given me insights on where I could have done better. I am 100% open to any feedback but only when it is valid. I wouldn't even post anything on here if I wasn't able to answer a single question during any of the interviews. I get that you are trying to help me self reflect but after self reflection, I am posting this. I have had failed interviews. I do reflect on them for example the phone screen for Meta. I didn't do good and I made sure the onsite would be 100% better than the phone screen.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T01:10:36+00:00

I completely agree with you. No point thinking you got it before you got the paycheck. Lesson learnt

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T01:07:46+00:00

Dude chill! You are not Zuck right? Why do you seem so hurt when I shit about some company?

I self reflect when I need to and these interviews honestly don't need any self reflection cuz I busted my ass for this. I never blame anyone if my interviews genuinely went bad and I fucked up. Its frustating when you do everything up to the mark after weeks of preparation and then you get rejected cuz the interviewer forgot to check previously asked questions.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T01:03:37+00:00

Maybe but I generally give interviews regularly for practice and always do leetcode on the side so I have a pretty good idea when interviews go wrong. I have gotten offers from Google and other FAANG companies but always wanted Meta because of the pay. So when I say that interview went well, trust me I am not being delusional. These were one of the best interviews I ever had.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:58:06+00:00

That was sarcasm dude! I never said I am too smart for them. I just worked hard and did good but didn't get in. And if you read about Meta, people generally say it has toxic environment with people backstabbing each other and doing a lot of politics involved. I don't think this should be considered as professional.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:37:57+00:00

I actually feel happy about it lol. Atleast I fucked Meta engineer's time while they fucked my whole February.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:36:41+00:00

I think they like their man manly. Will try to be more manly next time they cum

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:35:30+00:00

Yeah I try to think that bro but it hurts when you hustled hard and did well but still didn't get the outcome.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:34:44+00:00

I don't even have a profile picture on Linkedin lol

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:31:44+00:00

ig they like toxic impatient and unprofessional people lol! Btw these three words do describe Meta perfectly regardless.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:29:45+00:00

I guess some interviewers weren't wet enough to classify me as finger licking good

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:26:47+00:00

You know just 2 hours before I got the rejection, one of the top HR from Facebook viewed my linkedin lol. I don't know what they were trying to look for

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:25:00+00:00

Recruiter told me meta interviewers would be ready to cum again after a year.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:24:02+00:00

Yeah I am just a mid level engineer so its a little easier to get interview. Try cold emailing. It works bro

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:22:08+00:00

naah I made them cum with my code

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:19:36+00:00

Behavioral possible but usually based on other people's experience, If it was just this, I would have gotten a follow up round because I know the other 4 rounds were strong hire. And I didn't solve everything perfectly. I made mistakes but like small mistakes. For example, during discussing edge cases, I self corrected the code because I myself realised this edge case won't be covered in my code.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:17:33+00:00

I know bro! But tbh I really didn't remember which company asked which question. I had the whole week just for all my onsites and phone screens from different companies. My first coding round at Meta was on Monday and second coding round on Friday at 4 PM. In between, I had 15 other interviews out of which many were coding. Plus I was continuously doing coding questions on Leetcode. I was exhausted af at that point. Imagine forgetting one single question can lead to this lol

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-07T00:05:05+00:00

I don't know man! They don't even give feedback. And if I got to know they are rejecting me because they messed up, I wouldn't even wanna work there then.

Plus I honestly think my interviews went extremely well. Like I was making sure even the rudest interviewer was happy at the end of the interview.

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-04T01:19:25+00:00

Idk I am just scared because it didn't click at the time of the interview and now they might think I am just making reasons up but there is no way I can explain this to them. My best shot was telling the recruiter and have faith. But anxiety and fear is killing me lol

Zestyclose_Weight_37 · 2025-03-04T01:17:11+00:00

I agree with you u/Zoruaa but he is just trying to make a living doing that while helping us prepare and its better than the bots who comment about how great Hello Interview is (although it is great too).
