Algorithm practice: FANG onsite

 coding1: 利口意思而散，做完没问followup直接出了一道挺经典的背包dp。常规的问了复杂度，最开始脑抽了说错，面试官提示之后赶紧改正。两道题都bug-free，所以自我感觉还好。

coding2: 不是LC原题，但是是道典型的backtracking题，蛮类似sudoku solver，就不复述具体题目细节了。bug-free

coding3: 依然不是LC原题？（是真的背，我看很多rp好的面经全是高频题怎么回事emm），在一个排好序的数组中找到出现次数超过总数1/4的数字。一开始只想到brute-force的做法，没想到怎么logN。面试官提示了一下，想到基于二分查找就可以。然后写完有个小bug赶在面试官发现之前先改过来了。这一轮的面试官无精打采呵欠连连，搞得我也一头雾水不知道自己答的如何，再加上没问followup，就很虚。但考虑到最后几分钟面试官让我给code加了一些注释，还让我把复杂度啥的都明确注释在了doc里，个人猜测应该至少是个baseline的评价吧，如果是负面的那应该不用花时间让我的doc看起

Dan croitor: Top 10 reasons you got rejected after the onsite interview

Here is the link. 

- You didn’t have an answer to a question, and asked for another question You didn’t prepare the failure stories; Up to five proper failures for senior roles You knew the answers to many of the questions by heart, but got some new ones on which you blocked You repeated the same story twice or more; They take notes which they later confront You prepare the answers on paper, but did not role-play enough so your performance was so-so You thought your answers were great, but couldn’t really understand why they were asking you those questions in the first place; e.g. The leadership principles You gave poor answers: one or more hypothetical answers, impossible to quantify, Too short, Too long, You forgot the results, Maybe they were boring, Excel vs narrative, You praised them too much,Stubbornness You blocked when you got asked some tough questions from the bar raiser You were negative You lacked energy / curiosity / engagement

My notes:

failure stories - 

Never memorize the stories - same stories over and over again. You do not have diversified experience on the job.

Great answer for any question on behavior. 

Written answer/ Speak to yourself / speak to coach / written answer/ other things/ 

Why they ask you those questions in the first place? 

Prepare for those type questions - tailor those questions. 

Give poor answers - hypothetical - too long or too short or stubborn - do not listen very well. 

Good or great answer 

More Excel like answer - or narrative

Jeff Su: Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years - How to Answer

Where Do You See Yourself In 5 Years is honestly like a trick question. How do you answer this question when most likely you won't be sticking around for that long? In this video I'll show you a formula that will let you answer this question in an honest manner without having to spend too much time figuring out "where DO I see myself in 5 years?" Yes, this question is asking about your career goals; more specifically, your long term career goals. But too many people get caught up by trying to literally answer "where do you see yourself in 5 YEARS?" when they should be simply focusing on talking about the overall direction they see themselves heading towards within the company they're interviewing for. Not only do I share the formula that will help you come up with your own answer, but my example answer should give you a good idea of how you can adapt the the formula for your own needs.

STAR vs. CARL: What's the best behavioral interview method? In this video I compare the popular STAR answer method with the more comprehensive CARL answer format, share sample behavioral interview questions and answers, and end with a recommendation on when to use each method. The STAR behavioral interview method suffers from 2 limitations: (1) It allocates too much time for background information and not enough on your accomplishments, and (2) Doesn’t naturally incorporate your learnings as part of the answer prompts. Therefore, many interviewers find the STAR technique of interviewing a little bit robotic as candidates just seem to memorize answers and spit them out during the interview. With the CARL interview method, the “L” stands for “Learning” so you should really allocate more time on reflecting what your actions and results meant for future use cases (i.e. what if you faced a similar situation again, what would you do next time?) This is where the CARL interview framework really shines.
