I actually got this invitation when I was looking for more sources to understand list comprehensions in Python. It just happened a few hours ago. I cleared the first level and I'm waiting until I feel prepared to tackle the second level. It's super nerve wracking but I'm excited to continue these games.
First of all, Many Congratulation!!!! to you and thanks for this helpful video. A week ago, I also got this opportunity while I was searching on google some programming term and fortunately I was aware of it. When the thing appeared, My heart beat got raised up and in my head someone said "You have been chosen"...maybe god or something. BTW, this give me an hint that what I can expect in the telephonic interview. I liked that, the interviewer answered all your millions of questions ( No offence! :-) ) so calmly and in a friendly way. Also, I'm a bit like you when it come asking question, I have a few questions. 1. Things that helped in solving those problems. 2. Things you should be prepare for. 3. Any due date to start the test. 4. Could you please send me those prep material, if not a problem? P.s.: at 45:40 while, you were doing your hair. Well, you look beautiful.
I don't know why it is just 15 like! It should be 15 million, anyway you are awesome, you asked every thing in my head, wish me luck, really thank you for posting this video.
Hey. I am going through the Foobar challenge too. Currently on L3. This was really helpful and please update us on the process. Your questions were insightful.
@@arpitchugh7297 Never heard back from anyone from Google. I invited my friends too and they didn’t hear back either. I’d suggest you just do it for fun and forget about it.
@@arpitchugh7297 Yes I completed all of them. Though it got really hard from L4 and insane at L5. They didn’t ask for a resume or anything. Just some basic contact information. You’ll get that “recruitme” command enabled right after you finish all 3 questions of L3. It’ll show up once right after you finish too.
@@raghurrai I am 1 question away from that part😀, though what do you suggest like should I complete all the level's or just complete upto l3 and see if something happens in like a month or two as they are soon going to start their inter hiring process and I am a 2nd year college student
You can do whatever you'd like, I'm not a cop :) I don't give out my designator for privacy reasons. If you end up joining and are in my community, there will likely be a time we'll meet.
This was back in December. I did talk to them again, but the kinds of opportunities they have just weren't really a fit with me right now. Will keep everyone posted with any new updates, though!
@@tejaswi4650 no, they gave me different amounts of time for each challenge within each of the 5 levels. The first level had 1 challenge and they only gave like an hour or so if I remember correctly. But once you're on level 3, challenge 2 (or something), they start giving you longer, like days to do it. I don't remember exactly how long the entire foobar challenge actually took me, but some of the challenges on some of the levels took like 2 days to finish.
I honestly don't remember all of the challenges, but they all had to do with rescuing bunnies from an evil lady on a space shuttle. I do remember the Bellman-Ford algorithm was necessary for one of them, but it was so long ago, I really can't remember! Sorry I can't be more helpful. Good luck!
MA'AM, you ask each and every questions related to foobar which are in my head. I recently Complete all the 5Levels..So can you please tell me how long you wait for recruiter to contact you from the date of completion of the levels?I m so excited that when will be the recruir mail pops up in lappy. Congrats, Happy coding ❤️😊
It didn't take too long--maybe a few weeks. The only thing is that at the time, I rarely checked that email address, so I didn't see it for even longer. Once I responded to the email, the exchange was pretty quick and he set up the interview within a few days.
They told me about their job openings and the closest one to me was over a 2.5hr commute (this was pre-covid) and they didn't have any remote opportunities, so I told them I wasn't interested in any on-site positions. If I were to change my mind, however, then there would be a technical interview, followed by 2 or 3 more interviews to see how my personality meshed with other interviewees.
Congratulations Molly!! You must be really smart, I wish I have that opportunity 😭. I am developing apps for Android but I studied Physics, I feel a kind of impostor 😭 but I am trying really hard to improve my skills, I wake up early and work in my laptop and later go to Physics but I feel is not enough..
Anyone who tries something new feels like an impostor at some point--if developing applications is your passion, just keep at it! Just because you studied Physics doesn't mean you're defined solely by your education. Put in the time and energy to become a developer, consume lots of content on the topics you're interested in, and before you know it, you'll be an expert in your field. ... You might still feel like an impostor, however, the feeling is normal :)
@@Mollyloveblue Thank you for your sincere words Molly, I think you really understood me :) Many things have happened since I wrote you. 1. I decided to learn Data Science because it is somehow related with Physics and my advisors want a software able to predict crimes 😱 using Neural Networks, so now I have a really big challenge. 2. I make a good app for my.. emm.. I don't know how to call it in English but in Spanish is "lugar de residencia" and in German is "Wohnort" , look it ;) play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sublunary.bonsai&hl=en 3. Soon I'll work on the oficial app of my University Faculty with people of CS, so I hope be good enough. Sorry for my late reply but I just noticed you replied me after the "heart" notification. I wish you good luck and hope all your projects go smooth :D If I can help you with something you can ask me anything.

Hey. I am going through the Foobar challenge too. Currently on L3. This was really helpful and please update us on the process. Your questions were insightful.
How did it go and what did they ask you in interview?
@@arpitchugh7297 Never heard back from anyone from Google. I invited my friends too and they didn’t hear back either. I’d suggest you just do it for fun and forget about it.
@@raghurrai did you complete every level and do they ask for your resume or CV or anything once it's completed, I am currently at level 3 myself

Can I assume that you are either an IP or CW? If so, will you be doing a video about life as an IP/CW?
You can do whatever you'd like, I'm not a cop :)

Please share all interview process
How long ago was this Molly? And did you receive a follow up from Google? This is super fascinating!
This was back in December. I did talk to them again, but the kinds of opportunities they have just weren't really a fit with me right now. Will keep everyone posted with any new updates, though!
Hi, I received the challenge as well and would love to whether have you continued with the challenge even after level 3?
Yeah, I finished the whole thing!
@@Mollyloveblue did you complete everything within week of receiving the challenge?
And loved the idea of recording as well :)

I had verify code but says BLACKLISTED_CODE on test cases .....can you tell about it if you did anything why its show?
It means that you have used code from libraries that you are not allowed to use within the challenge. See "constraints.txt"
I got the invitation an hour ago 😁
Nice!
Hey Molly, Congratulations on scoring an interview.
Could you please share the questions you were asked in your 1st, 2nd, 3rd level. :)

Did they call you?
@@minakshidas1148 no ma'am 😔
@@vaibhavshete5189 I am in level 4 now. Hoping for the best to happen!
So did you finally got Position at Google after this interview or you had clear more interview from google ??
They told me about their job openings and the closest one to me was over a 2.5hr commute (this was pre-covid) and they didn't have any remote opportunities, so I told them I wasn't interested in any on-site positions.
