7 reasons why candidates fail their Meta coding interviews (fix these mistakes)

[@NeonFrostX4]

I can’t believe this video came out one day after my interview! This would’ve helped so much 😢 In my dry run, I was verbalizing what the variables would be but wasn’t writing all of them up explicitly. This might’ve costed me the interview because there was 1 bug I was not about to catch on my own that the interviewer needed to hint me towards…

I had an interview at Meta last year, and now I know why I did not pass. Thanks for the advice!!

What would be the best way to filter the top 75 Meta-tagged LC problems-using the filter for the past 30 days or for a longer timeframe?

[@pablobear4241]

If you're polite, communicate well, ask the scope, come up with the correct algorithm for the problem, and solve it psuedocode or come up with the right approach, but when you code it you make some errors or can't fully code up the proper thing then are you not passing 100%? Like say you do two sum, you say okay, we can brute force like this, sort and do 2ps, and optimal is a hash map. You solve correctly BF, but then you basically make a slight mistake in the optimal solution then what? Does those things outweigh not coding it correctly, like say you come up with the proper idea, communicate it well, but make some syntax errors or something does that screw you over even if you come up with the optimal solution (just fail implementation).

the questions difficulty is from easy to medium or from medium to hard? from what I was told, it should be from medium to hard level questions

Is javascript a good choice for the interviews ?

[@crackfaang]

Yes but the problem is that there’s no built in data structures really. Things like heap, queue, etc. Not really an issue because you can agree an access/usage API with the interviewer

[@a55a551n90]

@@crackfaang Queue is just an array though. Heap yeah, you might need a library for it.

[@LJLJ-m1j]

@@crackfaang Great.Thanks for the answer.After failing Meta and Google interviews I also started to believe the problem is actually the person who is using javascript

Got my interview day after tomorrow for a Meta DE role. Hope I make it..

[@sharathkumar1576]

Is this applicable to all other interviews?😊

[@antonyanchev7112]

Can you make videos about the other interview in Meta ? Like system design/ behavioural and such?

[@joekuo1981]

Do you think getting an iPad so I can draw out the algorithm/solution would help during the interview? Or is whiteboarding with mouse is enough to do the job?

[@LastVoyage]

Have you ever heard of pen and paper

[@joekuo1981]

@ I have. So you draw it on a paper then show it to the interviewer?

[@metalmuscles07]

I used iPad for my meta interviews. Absolutely no problem and coderpad works like a charm!
