2 YOE trying Affirm takes guts. They don't scale difficulty much between new grad and experienced.

Did they give you any hints when you got stuck or just let you struggle?

Let me struggle. Zero hints the whole time. I don't think that's unusual for Affirm phone screens.

What was the interviewer's energy like? Some of them are totally stone-faced the whole time.

Yeah completely stone-faced. No reaction to anything. Hard to know if I was on track.

The 100+ lines of starter code being the real challenge is so accurate for Affirm. Most of the time is spent reading.
