Replies (7)
congrats. can you share TC range? did they negotiate or was it fixed?
got the Sora question too, failed on the checkpointing follow-up. didn't think about partial progress tracking at all. good to know that's where they go deep
the novel problem description thing is so real. i think the intimidation is half the test
honestly yeah. once i stopped trying to understand every detail upfront and just started coding it clicked fast
how long after the phone screen did it take to hear back on next steps?
Hi OP, thank you for sharing your experience! Could you share how soon did you get the pass signal? I noticed that you mentioned the official email came 8 days after onsite, but curious did your recruiter share positive signals in the wrap up call? Thanks!
which team did you match to? infra or product?
the Run Test Case vs Run Main thing burned me on my phone screen. cost me 8-10 minutes easy. should be in every prep guide
same, interviewer didn't say anything when i was confused. you really do have to figure it out yourself
