I had to build a project for an interviu. It took me around 25 hours or 5 days to complete it. I enjoyed it more than the regular interview, but that's only because I got the job in the end. If I had wasted 25 hours and not been offered a job, I would have been really pissed off about it.

ADDERALL + HARDSTYLE LEETCODE 24 HOUR HARD SPEEDRUN WE CAN MAKE IT BRAHS KEEP GRINDING

Great one, very well summarized!

Awesome to see this informative video, we've been waiting for an upload from you

I found you yesterday and have already watched like 6 of your videos! Very interesting and well presented content! Keep it up

Glad youre back making videos

Not sure if you can compare those acceptance rates. Typically you only get one shot at Harvard undergrad whereas people apply to Google every 6 months for life. It’s just misleading.

underrated channel, bro keeps it real

Microsoft's interviews worked so well they created the most buggy insecure software of all time. But in all fairness it was also slow.

I'm a South Korean, and I remember that when we've got a much better search engine called Naver(still it is the best in our country though) around 2000 ~ 2010. These days we only use Naver for searching for some local restaurants, and most of some serious stuffs are searched through Google. I've heard there were even no such "Coding tests" around 2015... It is kinda amazing to observe how quickly and dynamically the IT industry changes...

Keep up the great content!

YO THE GOAT IS BACK

This video will pick up, I feel it

It reminds much of my journey during my past 4 years. I do not agree about they using this process to get the smart young talent. I did crack the coding interview for a big tech in my late 30s. I just took all my efforts because I do not see any bias in this process. I am not only older, but I had no previous work experience as SDE, CS degree, bootcamp,

Because you don't need the application fee for applying for Google. And the applying process is much easier than applying an IVE league.

I failed my onsite :( I guess most ppl don't make it their first try but it still sucks. I cant cry tho since I feel that the odds were already stacked up against me even before the Online Assessment. It also didnt help that their onsites are all virtual now.

Ngl coding interviews seem really fun if your career doesn't depend on it lmao

If I were to interview people for a job at my company I would test people for their exotic language skills

Trapping Rain Water a fav TPtr

When he dropped the book that was personal.

I've never been interested in any of those big companies. I worked for an well known ecommerce company and I don't want to work for anything similar ever again.

Goverment job in India :-0.1% 1,000 in 1 million will pass

those old companies were really the gorilla open access intern days, hope we get that back in Web 3

Your end premise doesn't make sense. You say Google moved away from coding interview questions but then imply they still do? Which one is it?

Honestly its kind of like the Nfl right now 5 years ago players were going crazy with the salary cap everyone getting paid now rookies are becoming top 10 sometimes top 2 in contract money off a rookie deal contract . Id be checking them new employees pay if i was working for I.t

❤❤❤❤

I got top 50 out of (at the time) half a million active players in hots which is .01% of the player base so technicly i achieved something thats rarer than gettong into google. 😅

I don't think big tech companies will completely shift to take home assignment style interview as they get lot of applications for single position so they have to filter out some of the applicants with leetcode style interviews. They can filter 1-2% with easy or medium leetcode questions and give them take home assignment to assess their quality of code.

So funny never knew that book existed. I just learned everything on the job and tried to stay relevant.

I dont even interview with those companies. I know I cannot get in.

Lol I got this interview question

You can earn as much or more than software "engineers" by learning a trade.

it is about money also. e.g. there are 2 functions, 1st has O(n) and 2d has O(logn) complexity, then you would choose the 2d, company will save a lot of compute resources and money

I can't immgine being a noob again. I just can't. It's been 10 years, I just don't relate. So I went to leetcode to see what all the hype was about. Went to fizz buzz, a classic. OH SWEET JEZUS, the answers there are so bad. I just don't get it. Is this a meme? Or is this the real level? People praising other people, as far as I could tell, non-ironically, for avoiding modulo operations ... because ... writing to memory is faster than an arithmetic operation? Look, I'm no optimizing genious. I don't know if, these days, 3 if statements on the same "i" gets translated to a switch by the compiler, and if it will benefit from branch prediction. I just honestly do not know. Okay, division is more costly than addition or equals check. Sure. But it's a unsigned division at that. There's not much you could that's faster than a modulo. You can't do an equals without also incrementing something else. I doubt you could make an argument that both equals and increment is faster than a single div. You're not being interviewed for an assembly position. No one cares if you figure out a way to write machine code that's neglijably faster than a div. You're being interviewed to see if you can write code that doesn't look like an insane person wrote it. My dudes. Just have a map. Add "divided by" as key, and "response" as value: map.put(3, "Fizz"); map.put(5, "Buzz"). Have an empty string at each for loop start. If "i" is divizible by any key, add value to string. if string is empty, print "i", else print string. Done. Easy, maintainable, fast enough. If they ask you how you'd edit your code to include "Bazz" at divided by 7, just add that to the map. Boom. Done. I have gained so much job security by just going to leetcode. I get why I keep getting offers even when I'm not looking for a job. The juniors are terribad.

A complete waste of time these puzzle questions

Google would be more equitable if they admitted that they don't know how to evaluate talent and just used a lottery once they've done the basic vetting stuff. They'd also have better engineers too because they wouldn't be tainted so heavily by the biases of the current talent. Of course they would also need to revamp performance reviews as well and... Well, we all know Google is too lazy to do anything real that improves diversity and inclusion. They have Asians for "diversity," and excuses for the rest. Enjoy the next failed Google project! 👍🏾

lol !!! GOOGLE is MORE like 1/5k

Honestly these questions are pretty easy, especially for those that programmed for a long time. For example, I coded for 9 years when I was in high school, and I qualified for USACO platinum, and honestly these interview questions were just easy versions of Platinum questions. It's just hard for those that think that with a CS degree it's fine and haven't coded until they are in college.

basically, interviewers are delusional
