10 minutes to be interviewed

Feb. 4, 2018

Introduction


It is the game I play after the mock interview. Today after the mock interview, I gave two questions and asked peer to solve. One is spiral matrix and another one is maximum number of chunks. The peer is very experienced programmer, went to onsite facebook last year, second round Google phone screen, and since last 12 months he finished 300 algorithm on leetcode.com. I just saw the big difference compared to me, since he worked so hard on 300 algorithm recently, it is so easy for him to follow the hint to work on spiral matrix to write a simple while loop solution, it only took him less than 10 minutes to come out a total different solution.

After 20 minutes, I asked him to give me one algorithm to be interviewed.

10 minutes to be interviewed


Here is the transcript for my performance. I just could not believe with 4.9 out of 5.0 reputation, I continuously in the row this afternoon partnered with three programmers, with good intern experience or education background, with 4.0 GPA master graduate student. I think that it is so easy to learn thing quickly through the discussion.

I definitely learned something today.
