eBay phone screen, Top K again, then nothing

Hack2hire Community · 2026-07-19T18:00:00.352Z

Phone screen was Top K product recommendations, frequency map plus bucket sort, finished with time to spare. Recruiter jumped straight into scale questions after that, stream ingestion, distributed counters, tiered cache. Two weeks. No update, no portal change, nothing. Java shop apparently, glad I wasn't forced into it this round, tbh.

the ghosting after phone screen is so common there, don't take it personal

yeah at this point just have the bucket sort solution memorized and you're set

User-hoct8Jul 20, 2026

did they give you any timeline or just straight up silence

vikramreddyJul 20, 2026

nothing, not even a rejection email

scale follow up is the real filter honestly, coding part is easy
