My interview process at Meta lasted for around 3 months. Really it was a long journey and yeah I studied day and night for this opportunity.

Cleared screening and also gave mock before for better practice

Will directly jump to on-site

3 coding, 1 system design and 1 behavioural
Took 1 month of gap again to study

Coming to the feedback’s
All 3 dsa coding rounds were a strong hire

Behavioural was a strong hire again

For system design recruiter said it’s a weak feedback. But I was able to come up with a design and interviewer was also satisfied by it. And boom I got rejected. This was really heartbreaking for me but yeah it is what life is :)

So any idea what can I do? Shall I keep some hope? Or just apply next year with such a heavy process again?
