Hello, everyone so let me talk about my google journey. I'm not rejected, I just applied way earlier for that position.

So, let's start the story. If you came here for looking at what problem I got, i'm really sorry I hadn't mentioned that.

Part - 1 >     Beginning

It's started on 19th March 2022 when I applied for 2-3 google positions. You can say 2 of them are same only location difference. So, since after applying from google job protal In a week when no response I thought, a rejection from my dream company. Then I applied for Amazon as well through refferal. But again no response.

Anyways time passes, I grind leetcode really hard in April 2022 then after no scope I get very demotivated. I stop visiting temple, I just feel like I dont know what I'm doing in my life.

Now some of you look at me & say what Temple[GOD] hahahahahah
I'll give you my daily routine in the end. So, carry on the story.

In the May 2022, I started crying on myself because I'm the only person to support my family. As I;m belongs to a Middle class family. Days passes on, then on 11th May 2022 I got an email from Google & the time is about afternoon lying on the bed in my village. Saying that congratulation we have moved your application & your next step is to complete a survey & one Online Assesment in next 7 days.

Just looking at that I still remember I started jumping on my bed. And I say thank you so much god, for giving this opportuing & my Appliaction is selected for Software Developer, Early Career, Campus - Canada role. Now at this moment I'm really happy but back of my mind I knew may be I'll fuck#d up. You'll get to know later on.

So, I give myself a time of 7days window. Although I had completed Blind75 && NeetCode 150 questions sheet, so I just quickly revise it. But on Saturday I got an reminder email from google to complete OA before 18th May 2022 11:59 P.M

So, I change the plan & decided to done it on 16th May 2022 i.e. on Monday & that day was little bit good as well because on that day in India we have Buddha Purnima, so yes I decided but what happen is my relatives come to my house & my uncle forces me to let's go & watch a movie called KGF-2 although I wanted to watch as well, so I decided yes I already superb prepared up & lets go & watch & later in evening I'll give my exam.

Part - 2 >     Online test

So, I started my exam It was on Hacker earth & they have given 2 problems to solve & 2 practice problem If I want. What I did is, I thought let's solve first practice problem So, I solve 2 of them in just 30 mins time frame. Then I decide to let's give my best again in real problems so, I spend a lot of time on the 1st problem I solved it brute force then I optimise it explain the thought process with time & soace complexity of optimise one. Now going to 2nd problem on 30 mins left, I solve it brutely then I try to optimise it but I almost run out of time so, I want able to explain the thought but I give the time & space complexity & my bad luck some of my inbuilt test cases are not passing It's run out of time & submitted automatically, my hurt is satisfied but I thought the bar of google is high. So, maybe they rejected. I pray to god, please select me.

And luckily next day i.e. 17th May 2022 I got email from google I had passed my Online Assesment congratulations we are moving forward to next step. I started dancing literally. But I haven't read the complete email as they are asking for some kind of documents. So, to celebrate this I bring Thums Up {Cold-Drink} similar to Coca-Cola.

Summary for you regarding Google OA :- Google OA are really easy question difficulty level is LeetCode Easy-medium

Part - 3 >     Documents

Now I have to provide my college documents & as I told you previously In the back of my mind I knew I fuc##d up. So, yes I did. Because the job is for 2022 graduate but i decided no matter what I'll give my best & if they reject me then it;s up to them.

So, on 19th May 2022 I provided all of my documents to my recruiter & she told me thanks for proving this, we have moved your application forward & another recruiter will approach you. Her job is finish & I'm like what, are you happy with that, I'm not graduating in 2022.

So, what days passes on...

Part - 4 >     Phone Screen

On 26th May 2022, I got an email from another recruiter to schedule an chat with her. So, I feel confident enough, I schedule for next day early morning.

And yes, so the duration of the call is around 45-50 mins. So, first she ask about my resume & she shouts on me saying that I'm grauating on 2023 & the position which I had applied for wants 2022 graduate students. Then I say sorry to her & she ask few questions about my resume & all.

Then she ask, some basic dsa questions like whats the difference b/w HashMap & heap. Which algorithm will provide logN time complexity and little bit more.

And after that she ask one DP question & the difficulty is medium. So, I figure it out in 10-20 seconds so I started solving it with brute (Recursion) tells the time & space complexity then I tell her i can optimise it to handle stack over flow, so I optimise it using Memoisation & give Time & space complexity then still we have more 15 mins left I tell her I can optimise it more , so I put up the bottom-up approach & give its time & space complexity.
And by looking at her she is very much impressed but internally I knew she will gonna reject me.

Because the job is for 2022 graduate.
So, in the remaining time she tells me that, I should have to apply later on because I'm graduating in 2023. Then she asks any questions. So, I have questions But at this time I knew there is no sense to asks any questions regarding job profile & about company so I just tell her no, I'm fine & we ended up.

In the evening i.e. on 27th May 2022 when I'm feeling not good, this is what i received from google

Part - 5 >     Rejection
