YOE: 14

5 rounds and was given a schedule. It didn't go as per schedule. Was supposed to be

  1. Behavioural
  2. Coding
  3. Domain
    Lunch
  4. Design
  5. Coding

In reality

  1. Behavioural
  2. Coding
  3. Domain
    Lunch
  4. Coding
  5. Coding

Had asked for chromebook but ended up whiteboarding everything. I even asked the front person but none of the interviewers knew anything so i didn't bother to ask.

Behavioural went OK because i used my experience to answer
I bombed the 2nd coding interview (simple permutation question) i just blocked out by permutation algorithm and didn't get it quite right
Domain interview went OK i really enjoyed it.
Lunch I didn't eat much and walked around not much talking with a jr dev. was a good break
4th interview talked about implementation of a game. I got 50% of it but needed hint more than once and I ended up coding it
5th interview was fully coding again and I had practiced that question before on leetcode and answered it about string manipulation.

Pretty sure I won't get it. It's my fault I didn't fully study that permutation algorithm even though it's really easy. Will find out later.
