L4 (SDE2). Heard L5 roles are hard to find right now at Snap.

How long was the AI coding round? Was Opus actually helpful or just confusing to work with?

About 45 mins. Opus was useful once I gave it specific enough instructions. Like described what data structure I needed and why. It generated the skeleton, I fixed edge cases.

Card set validation is a combinatorics problem that trips people up on time. The brute force is short but the edge cases are what cost you.

The stack ranking is real. I passed all rounds technically and still got rejected. 'You were competitive but we moved forward with other candidates.'
