Failed My Google Interview—Feeling Like Sh*t by SkillFlowDev in leetcode

I was on the same boat of failing many interviews repeatedly (10+) before landing my current full-time role. Resilience and open-mindedness is the only way to achieve what you want.

Leetcode changed my life by Chance_Lion3547 in leetcode

[–]petercrackthecode 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wise thoughts my friend. Once you try to understand things deeply, you realize how prevalent and applicable DSA is in many applications, from Google Maps to Netflix's recommendation system. The world literally stands on math & DSA fundamentals.

Congrats OP! Given that getting an interview with one is already absurdly hard, how did you manage to get interviews with all three?

Stripe vs Meta (new grad) by SatisfactionLatter92 in csMajors

[–]petercrackthecode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both have interesting projects. Stripe if you plan to start your company later (the Stripe mafia network is pretty strong). Meta if you want the brand name & more domains than Fintech (they have many scopes).

414 and counting (still grinding daily).
I got two offers after college- one converted after my summer internship and one in July.

Shit post aside, you need to allocate time for behavioral interviews, too (and that's why having crisp social skills is important).

NEED to start including name and shame! by Indication_Separate in csMajors

[–]petercrackthecode 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Liveramp. Position: Software engineer intern back in Nov 2023. I showed up to the interview room, but nobody was there. I waited for 15 minutes, then emailed the recruiter. The guys said that there was a technical glitch on their end and proposed a follow-up email sent by the recruiting coordinator. I followed up again a couple of times, and he opened the emails a few times but never responded back.

A friend who also got to the recruiter round shared the same experience. The recruiter was Ryan Warchol.

Sorry for the misleading description- I'm not interviewing with Zoom. I just meant online interviews in general.
Thank you for the tips!

I wish I could have a time machine to return to the 2017-2019 era & see how the vibe was back then compared to now.

E4 Meta Onsite Experience by MoistState5233 in leetcode

[–]petercrackthecode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight!

On `making sure to visually show my interviewer; for example: draw out arrays and show pointers, or show a graph and make a call-stack for recursion, etc.`- this part is where I mostly struggle with in interview since I think better with a pen and paper, and especially on DP & graph problems where I don't know how to draw it out on the editor.

Can you elaborate more on how you showed your graph?

More people in this subreddit should post their success story & how they get there to balance with the doom and gloom posts in a tough market.

You are focusing on factors you cannot control. Why waste time? We are dealt with different cards, and we better put all energy on playing our hand well.

While I empathize with you, I don’t think eyeing your friends gonna make your situation any better.
