Position: SWE Fullstack and Backend Engineer.
Little disappointed and extremely burned out. Had interview for Facebook phone round. And let me ruin the surprise , I didnt get it. However, both qns were extremely easy for what I had prepared for and I could answer both with in-place and efficicient solutions. I just dont understand what more do they want or how are they judging a candidate to push them next round.
They didnt even give me feedback and asked me to apply after 12 months !
From past one month I have done nothing other than doing leetcode FB top 50, FB most recent, FB explore, I even covered topic wise qns. Sorry I sound depressed, that is coz I am. I agree its not end of the world, but I am really curious people who get into these companies what extra do they have ? How to get there ? Any thoughts are much appreciated. My experience / qns below -
First 5 min about current projects, next 40 mins 2 qns
Question 1:

Question 2:
Candy Crush 1D
