I got contacted by Facebook Seattle recruiter today (should be yesterday)

May 8, 2019

Introduction

Now it is 12:15 AM.  I like to write a blog saying I got contacted by Facebook Seattle recruiter yesterday. I was so surprised since I got contacted by Amazon in March, Microsoft in April, Facebook in May. I know that I set my target too high, but I do like to push myself hard to prepare and solve more algorithms just for phone screen.

Email I got

Hey Jianmin!

I work with the engineering teams here at Facebook Seattle and wanted to get in touch with you.

I know that you've interviewed with us in the past and I was curious to see if you might be interested in interviewing with us again here in a few months! I'd be happy to chat with you about your experience and passions as well as your options here at Facebook.

Would you be open to speaking with me?

Thanks in advance!

Email I replied

I am so excited to hear from you and Facebook. It is so nice of you to reach out to me. I will definitely like to set up time with you for a chat using my cellular phone 604-562-xxxx. 

 I just plan what to work on this spring and think about Seattle all the time. I am setting the goal too high. But I did learn from all the experience from Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook. I only had a phone screen from Google in February 2017. Every time I have chance to be interviewed, I will analyze and then work on a few things.

It is definitely my plan to have a phone screen once I can finish another 100 to 150 algorithm on Leetcode.com. I really like the experience to practice more algorithm, and push myself hard on practice.
