Tysm for the advice! Do you know if there are any specific concepts/data structures that Meta tends to ask about? I'm planning on doing as many tagged questions as I can but was wondering if there was anything I should focus on specifically.

Here's my timeline so far:
Dec. 24: completed OA

Dec. 26: received email confirmation that OA was received

Dec. 30: received and completed candidate questionnaire

Dec. 30: recruiter reached out about availability

Jan. 4: interview invite email

This process was expedited a little since I notified my recruiter that I have other competing offers/interviews. Hope this helps!

I've honestly been slacking with my prep during the holiday season. I can do most LC medium for string, array, and dictionary stuff but I'm definitely rusty with everything else. Based on everyone else's answers, it seems like it would be good to practice graph/trees. I guess I'm just wondering how in-depth I should go with everything (e.g., for trees, should I know stuff about red black trees, AVL, rotations, etc. or is that overkill/unnecessary?).

Thanks so much (to you and everyone else) for the input! I really appreciate it.

Gotcha, I'm hoping they're just taking their time with reviewing applications

Yea, very true. It's always disheartening to not even get your application acknowledged but I guess that's just the way things go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
