They do ask OS related questions.

I believe so, if there is any occurrence of the element which is not blocked, we should be able to find the element. So, the same algorithm should work.

I had already started working, and I felt that I did not have enough incentives(majorly compensation) to switch. I was a bit discouraged by the mismanagement on their part as well.

Hello, sorry for the late response. Most probably you would have already gone through with the interview, but I'll still answer the questions. I do not have a one stop resource for DBMS, I used to rely on Knowledge Gate DBMS series and G4G cheat sheets. Just make sure you know SQL, types of databases, concept of SQL and NoSQL dbs, concept of transactions and concurrency, hashing and searching atleast. LLD interview usually involves pseudo code writing. You should be very good with OOPs and have a decent understanding of OS. Yes, they can ask you to write a pseudo code with locks/mutex.

I don't think that is the case. C++ is a full fledged Object Oriented programming language. You can demonstrate all the principles of OOP in C++, and you can write LLD interview required pseudo code in C++ as well. I used to give all my LLD rounds in C++. As an interviewer, I do not give any weightage to the language used.

Just make sure that you are using all the C++ OO concepts properly in the interview.

No it would not affect your chances, big tech companies do not focus on your prior tech stack as they have to anyways onboard you on their internal tech stack. They primarily focus on your problem solving and system design skills which are agnostic to the tech stack you used. Resume is just a means to gauge your capabilities and level of contribution, not specifically your skills in a particular tech stack.

@@turningturing9217 Thanks for the guidance.

@@turningturing9217 Hey, I came across similar issues where even the faang HRs were asking me for my tech stack on the first call and sometimes refusing to move ahead citing they want a particular stack, is this some new trend? Even my friend who recently joined google said he only got team matched because he had java.

Hey, It is a possibility but not a norm. Sometimes recruiters are hiring for specific hiring managers, in that case they would prefer someone having experience with the team's tech stack. More often, they hire people and later match them with HM. In that case, tech stack should not be an issue. I've also seen people getting hired for android with no experience in android. So yes, there are multiple possibilities, but definitely you can still get hired.

1) Focus on practice - Make sure to solve a variety of easy to medium level questions before the screening. 2) Practice coding on Google Docs 3) While practising, make sure you think about all corner cases and cover them in your solution in the first iteration. Do not keep submitting the code, and then covering the cases failing iteratively. 4) While screening, try to cover all these: collecting all the details, discussing approach, writing clean code, writing unit tests.

@@turningturing9217 Thanks for the tips! I cleared my screening round! Any tips for the on-sites?

@@turningturing9217 Thanks for the tips! I cleared my screening round! Any tips for the on-sites now?

@@turningturing9217 should I follow the same tips for the on-sites as well?

Hey, what was the verdict?

Sorry, missed your comment. How did it go?

Hi bro

না

In the concurrency programming round, I did not get a good feedback. I wasn't able to explain my solution very well. Since, I took a lot of time in explaining, I wasn't able to complete the code as well.

@@turningturing9217 Thank you! appreciate your insight!

Hey, screening + dsa + concurrency programming + hld + behavioural was the setup for SDE2 interviews when I interviewed. There is a high probability that it might have changed over time.

Hey sorry for the late response. My recruiter gave me an overview of the kind of questions I can expect and she also gave me some pointers for answering these questions. That call with recruiter was really helpful. I also skimmed through some videos shared by her in the preparation mail.

It would be really tough to get interviews for SDE2 role as 2 YOE is kind of the borderline for SDE2 roles, and since your prior experience is not pure SDE/SWE it would be even more difficult. Specifically for interviews, you would only need DSA and system design knowledge but no framework specific knowledge. In order to get an interview, it would be good to learn these frameworks and add some projects to your resume to show prior experience. This would help in resume shortlisting.

In on campus placement, you would not be allowed because that is a mandatory criteria. You can try off campus, if you have a strong resume you will get the interview irrespective of the CGPA.

@@turningturing9217 thank you sir I am from NSUT delhi I will apply offcampus only for ML internship And ek baar btaye bus kya yhi Hft offcampus recruit krti h aur koi se nahi krti h Jaise Quadeye , world quant etc ..

Yes, one round is always 45 minutes. The number of questions varied for me in different rounds. In one of the rounds, I only got a single question, while in some I had to answer followups.

Number of questions in a round depends on the difficulty of the questions.

Prior job experience matters for L4 and higher roles. There is a certain minimum limit on yoe for each of these roles. If you have worked on scaled projects, it improves your chances of getting shortlisted for the role.

@@turningturing9217 I got the interview call but I am not sure how to present the small scale projects

Mostly hiring in Google is not done for specific projects, you will be hired for a role and then matched with a project after the interviews. Since, new projects and openings keep coming up, you will most likely find a match even later. Taking time for preparation does not impact the feedback, in my opinion you should never go underprepared.

@@turningturing9217 I may have made a mistake then : ) ; I thought that since I was approached by them it was likely that there is some kind of hiring push going on, so taking too long would decrease the chances (as roles might get filled faster). Another reason was that if I took 2 months, my prep would have been slower and I would have got diminishing return. Anyways, thanks for these videos. I am aiming to get v. good at medium questions and thinking clearly and through before coding so that I can take help of the interviewer in hard questions when stuck

I focussed on latest ones, in order to get an idea about what type of questions are being asked these days. It is just a good metric to judge the importance of different topics, but do not expect to get same questions again.

Probability questions mostly focus on Combinatorics, Conditional Probability, Bayes Theorem, Binomial equation. So the concepts are easy, just the questions are a bit tricky. If you understand the concept, you'll be able to solve.

Hey @shubhamgarg5007, for some reason the article was removed from Geeks for Geeks.

Working on it, will be uploaded soon.

When is your first interview?

@@turningturing9217 they skipped my phone screen. I'll be having 2 on sites, one domain specific and one Googlyness round. I provided a tentative date of 6 Nov and recruiter agreed.

Great! all the best. There are generally 3 tech and 1 googlyness.

Hey, we can schedule one on Google meets!

The only solution is practise, competitive programming website or practice website like leetcode. One trick to identify which DSA can be applied, try to cycle through all the concepts you know and see which can be applied. Once you know which algo to apply, it becomes easier to solve.

How did it go

There is no IDE, you have to code on Google docs. They try to simulate the white board coding experience. There are no default cases, you have to think all the test cases and do a dry run yourself. Make sure that you cover some basic happy cases and all the corner cases.

Yup easily, product companies do not have the concept of tiers. If you have strong fundamentals and programming skills, you can easily get into a very good product company. Just make sure that you have some good achievements or internship experiences or projects to put on your resume.

@@turningturing9217 Ok bhaiya , i will work hard

Usually you can use online resources to confirm syntax and language specific stuff but not conceptual information. Rarely interviewers give you time to go online and read conceptual resources.

In codeforce terminology, you can expect questions similar to div 1 B/C level problems. In leetcode terms, you can expect medium and hard (rare) level problems. I highly recommend practicing Medium level problems, and Hard level if time permits.

@@turningturing9217Man div 1 B/C in cf would be already 2200-2500 level are they really that hard? That would be painful then 😅

Sorry, missed your comment. B are usually medium level problems, C can be hard true.

3 YOE is the ideal case, but you can try with 2 YOE as well.

​@@turningturing9217 actually i am from service based company and i graduate with bcom so can I eligible

I am not sure, you would have to ask the specific recruiter.
