Affirm phone screen, Live Fraud Detector again

Affirm phone screen, Live Fraud Detector again

Rejected after the phone screen, no real feedback.

Got the Live Fraud Detector question. Part 1 was debugging a PII counter across underwriting events, missing the event type filter was the bug. Part 2 was flagging suspicious events and propagating any PII from a flagged one into a suspicious set for future matches.

Finished both parts, passed the test cases I could see, interviewer didn't say much the whole time.

Recruiter came back a few days later with just "moving forward with other candidates," no specifics.

YOE: 4 This is apparently a known question on here, would've helped to see the exact wording ahead of time instead of just the general description.

Anyone else pass everything and still get the generic reject on this one, or was it something else entirely

affirm's bar for this one seems inconsistent honestly
