HC reject after good round feedback happens more than people think, seen it mentioned a couple times now.

Did you have any signal at all it was headed to HC before the call, or totally blindsided?

Recruiter didn't hint at anything, felt pretty positive walking out honestly. That's part of why it stung.

AI coding rounds are rough, had one too and the context switching between reasoning out loud and actually debugging really throws off your pacing.

Same, feels like a completely different skill from just solving the problem on your own.

Curious if the celebrity post edge case in the SD round is something they ask a lot or just what you got.

Sorry man that's rough. The compress tree one sounds like a fun problem at least.
