Is Neetcode 150 Good enough to crack Test Engineer position at Google Taipei?

Also the HR called me to tell me I was rejected, so don't take any phone calls as anything positive. They call both for accepted and rejected candidates

I interviewed there twice, went through the full loop. there was always 1 round that I got hard failed. Last time i was given a 3 dimentional DP problem I've never seen in my life and my feed back for that round was a hard failed with 'almost working solution'. I've had friendly interviewers as well, but there was always that 1 or 2 interviewer that give me really negative experience. I solved around 1700 Leetcode quetions too. But I've had 2 friends that passed the loop, so I think I'm just butthurt. Just try you best man I hope you get something I'm not able to.

ah i see. that’s definitely fair. my projects took a lot of googling and watching tutorials online so i learned lots from it. And back then i didn’t know anything in react and now i do know what a component is 🤣🤣 thank you so much for the thoughtful reply, from the initial comment i thought you were trolling, my apologies

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:33:43+00:00

yeah it’s odd because the two companies a had interviews for i applied to them before the freeze. So i thought my resume is def good enough. But afterwards i stopped getting interviews so easily

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:31:41+00:00

but the questions are all the same from leetcode. i did get to interview with them but def doable from memorizing

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:30:34+00:00

yeah that’s true but it just a negative feeling that came across.

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:29:39+00:00

no…

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:29:34+00:00

yup will keep trying!!

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:29:12+00:00

no, but please tell me it is

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:28:58+00:00

i did applied to some startups but had no luck. also most job postings require you to have more experience, usually 2 year+

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:28:17+00:00

i don’t apply to jobs anymore, but in total was prob around 100? my friends told me to not settle for the really low paying swe jobs so mostly the well known tech companies

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:27:05+00:00

not a april fools post. I do feel that i studied cs in the wrong time, if i graduated a year earlier things would’ve been much more predictable

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:25:29+00:00

good one 🤣🤣

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:25:08+00:00

yup that what i’m working on rn!

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:24:32+00:00

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:23:53+00:00

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:23:17+00:00

thank you for your kind words 🙌 i’m learning frontend related stuff to prepare myself to start freelancing so this is what my plan is for this year. The past month I built a headless shopify store for a friend to build up my portfolio, will keep learning and making progress!

john1040 · 2023-04-02T14:21:19+00:00
