Hey everyone, \n\nLove yall at the leetcode discussion forum and I wanted to give back to this community and tell you  a little about my interview experience. I just got off the onsite and it went meh. I don\'t think I\'m getting a return offer but I\'d love to share my experience:\n\n1) Round 1 -> Collatz Conjecture question from https://leetcode.com/discuss/interview-experience/1504782/bloomberg-phone-interview-1042021-collatz-conjecture-rejection\n\nI figured out the first portion, with the even/odd/while loop. She was super sweet and talked to me about optimizing it. I guessed storing intermediate values in a map but forgot the actual word for it (it\'s memoization). I implemented it but had a few errors here and there and she talked me through it and I eventually implemented it. \n\n2) Round 2 --> Meeting Rooms II\n\nI\'m not gonna lie, this round was rough. I was blanking on how to even compare intervals. She pretty much gave me the answer. Honestly, she talked me through a lot of it, until I  suggested using a minheap. After so much talking, I eventually implemented it but boy, was this rough. My one thought during this interview was how nice it would be to just shut my laptop, hop on a plane and run away to Greece and go for a nice swim in the Mediterranean. \n\nI don\'t think I\'m going to be getting an offer, but I hope my experience helps you guys! My main takeaway is it to literally just leetcode. Its funny how I did kinda okay in Round 1, in a non-leetcode question but I messed up in Round 2, which was one of the top Bloomberg-tagged questions (that I obviously didn\'t practice, duh)\n\nWell, good luck on your interview!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
