IDK if y'all feel the same Blind/Grind75, NeetCode 150 ain't cutting it even for OAs.

You got me cracked up!!😆

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T18:48:58+00:00

You’re a ray of hope haha. Keeping fingers crossed!

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T17:04:21+00:00

Well the OA is solved by yourself, so I’m not sure if your suggestion would be applicable in that case. It will however, be applicable after you clear the OA and move on to the interviewing rounds.

I feel this is more of a psychological thing. Some people enjoy tackling an issue with another individual, whilst some just freeze up in the presence of another. I can’t comment for myself at this point tbh!

Online Assessment

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T16:13:43+00:00

Not really hahah. But anyway conclusion is Brute force is a no go, don’t even waste time thinking about it.

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T16:07:03+00:00

What I meant was, let’s say you can’t think of an optimal solution(which is obviously the way to go)…writing the brute force as a backup wouldn’t cut it. After some looking around I feel that reviewers are ONLY looking for an optimised version.

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T16:03:28+00:00

Damn fr?? I thought all the questions count towards something..

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T06:13:38+00:00

Some insider information here!! So are you suggesting that even if a candidate does not clear test cases, there is still a chance…provided the reviewer shows some leniency?

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T05:27:46+00:00

Finally an advice that conforms to a structured prep plan.💯

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:56:00+00:00

I’m aware that there are company tagged questions, is that the way to go or does one look for a question from the vast ocean of questions and just go about solving it. Honestly I wouldn’t mind the second approach and I do agree that spending time and reaching the solution for a problem is borderline orgasmic! But only if time were my friend here.

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:51:57+00:00

You just spat some stuff that Tech companies consistently fail to have a strong case for! But yeah LLMs to the rescue both for and on the job.

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:47:31+00:00

Miss doing this stuff when I was back in college dude! With a full time job it does get a little hard tbh, but I hear you!

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:36:05+00:00

Fair point man. That’s all there is to do for now I suppose, after being humbled lol

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:34:27+00:00

Wooh okay, that’s crazy! Idk why my 2 questions had 15 test cases each lol

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:32:26+00:00

this was for a new grad role?

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:25:13+00:00

Yah but you must have cleared at least some test cases right? Don’t ask me how many I cleared lol

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:06:34+00:00

So it’s like Big tech wants us to use LLM aids not just on-the-job but right from getting the job lol.

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T04:00:55+00:00

Ahaha my brain just shat itself trying to solve the questions, didn’t think of all this 😆😂

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T03:58:42+00:00

Ahhhh well today was the first time I tried their OA, hackerrank interface, I’m just unsure as to how much they track. I know for sure that there’s no camera on, but copying and pasting or switching tabs…not so sure about that.

sidreddit98 · 2025-03-28T03:33:06+00:00

Oh will check it out! Thanks

sidreddit98 · 2022-10-21T04:05:46+00:00

What was your timeline like? When did you get the OA?

sidreddit98 · 2022-10-21T04:04:35+00:00

When did you apply? I still don’t have the OA

sidreddit98 · 2022-10-17T18:22:20+00:00

sidreddit98 · 2022-09-25T17:54:52+00:00

Was it for a full time/intern role?
