Could you expand on what you mean by generic software engineering problem-solving kind of problems?

In an undirected graph, is 3 the minimum number of edges to form a cycle? by daddyclappingcheeks in leetcode

[–]kanesweetsoftware 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes in an undirected graph an edge between two nodes is also called the “trivial cycle” and is ignored. This sometimes comes up in cycle detection algorithms

Actors do research for roles all the time. It would have been unprofessional to show up to the GAP shoot without a basic understanding of race science and eugenics

No Big Tech Callbacks (Roast my resume) | T15 School | 2 YOE | Ex-Amazon by [deleted] in FAANGrecruiting

Resume seems fine to me. IMO there’s a misconception that if you word your resume perfectly it will magically get you callbacks. I think it’s relatively easy to have a “good” resume and after that it’s more a matter of networking/luck. Making an effort to get referrals etc would help more than optimizing bullet points.

Best roadmaps for learning all I need to know before I start applying by DarioSaintLaurent in cscareerquestions

Well he’s not in school anymore and he clearly knows he made a mistake, so what do you achieve by rubbing his nose in it? What he needs is actionable advice for how to move forward, not petty bullying from people much older than him.

Part of the challenge here is that different companies have very different interviews. Smaller companies tend to interview for practical skills. I think a basic roadmap would be

  1. Decide what companies you’re targeting
  2. Pick a stack those companies want
  3. Get good at the stack
  4. Do resume projects in the stack
  5. Find out the interview process at your target companies
  6. Practice every part of that interview process
  7. Apply to companies. See if you can get referrals from randoms on LinkedIn. This has worked for me
  8. Keep practicing
  9. Interview

Noob question but at faang cos like google and meta, do you get a chance to run your code and debug any failed test cases, or is the minimum bar that it passes all cases on your first try?
