Affirm phone screen, rejected

Hack2hire Community · 2026-06-21T06:00:00.032Z

Result: Rejected Number of Rounds: 1 Affirm phone screen. Got High Correlation Seller, finding sellers whose metrics are highly correlated over some window. Worked through it fine. Follow-up on streaming input with large datasets caught me off guard and I didn't have a clean answer. Rejection came 3 days later. Standard.

how was the difficulty of the main problem? heard affirm phone screens are harder than they look

main problem was manageable. the follow-up is where they actually filter

the streaming follow-up is what gets most people. it's basically a second full problem

yeah felt like they wanted to see if you could pivot quickly, not just solve the base case
