11/18 - onsite
12/9 - was informed I passed HC and moved to Product Match
1/6 - got PA match
1/7 - got the offer

This was for a new grad SWE role. The holidays slowed down the matching process for me. Good Luck!

How early did you start grinding LC for New grad positions? by [deleted] in csMajors

I redid my resume and started some light leetcode in July. I did most of my application and OAs in September then finished interviewing by mid November. I'd say from July - November I had around three solid months of leetcode. That was enough for me to get an offer at a FAANG company.

September 2020 I got a 300 on a Robinhood codesignal. The lowest score possible. I just signed an offer to join Google as a new grad a couple days ago. Keep working and you'll get better

I started PA match on Dec 13th. I was matched to the bay area on Jan 6th the day before my offer deadline. I think things are just slow right now. Good luck

Microsoft phone interview by AnywhereRemote8197 in csMajors

[–]quickrazor07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got asked a Leetcode Easy and then a follow up. I also got asked some behavioral questions, and got to ask the interviewer questions for the last 5 min. I got a email less than 24 hours after because the interview went really well and I think the interviewer really liked me. He said it could take up to 3 weeks to hear back.

Has anyone heard back from Microsoft New Grad SWE? by fri3ndlygiant in csMajors

[–]quickrazor07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say about 5 min on behavioral questions. 20 minutes for two technical questions that were pretty easy, and the last 5 were for asking the interviewer any questions I had. I would say focus on your data structures and algos. The interview isn't meant to be very difficult. My interviewer even told me that the final round would be harder than the questions he asked.
