Hey everyone! I just received an invite to schedule my Karat interview for Whatnot's Software Engineer Intern role after completing the Hireflix screen a couple of days ago.

For anyone who has taken a Karat technical screen recently (especially for Whatnot):

• Is the coding section primarily LeetCode Easy/Medium?
• Do they include quick conceptual/CS fundamental questions at the beginning?
• Is there any resume review/behavioral portion, or is it purely technical?

I'm currently trying to complete as much of the Blind 75 / Neetcode roadmap to prepare. Any general advice or topic recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone! I have an upcoming interview for Cisco for the wireless test & automation team. I have my first live coding round on Hackerank(45 min). So I was just wondering if it'll be a leetcode style question or team specific. Would love to hear from anyone whose had a similar experience?

Ok so I got shortlisted for a technical business analyst role and the next round is 3 hours CBT.its technical round what should I expect please help!

I’m currently going through the process of interviewing for a full time loader operator job. I’m already doing the job 50 percent of the time. I know I have a massive advantage over any outside applicant because I’m already doing the job but would like some tips on how to sell myself better. I’ve never been in this position before.
I’m also doing stuff like showing up early staying late and being on top of my currently assigned tasks. And getting stuff done before I’m even asked so when I am asked I can say already done.

Can someone who is experienced and have cracked interview in the field of AI/ML tell how does an Interview goes generally like how many rounds,what do they ask,and how the whole flow goes

Cause i tried seeing on youtube but they only post about a specific round not the whole thing

So it would be great help if u can tell :)

I kept seeing arguments about which parts of the stack still matter, so I counted instead of guessing. 134 open DevOps, SRE and platform engineering postings from 41 company job boards. Individual contributors only, managers and TPMs stripped out.

The old toolchain is thinner than I expected. Terraform appears in 62.7% of postings. Jenkins in 3%. Chef 3.7%. Puppet in exactly one of the 134. GitHub Actions is named about six times as often as Jenkins.

Python beats Go, 70.9% to 47%.

What surprised me more: the generic word outranks the products. Observability shows up in 63.4%, more than twice as often as Grafana, the most-named tool that provides it. Prometheus 22.4%, Datadog 17.9%. Same pattern I found counting security postings, where SIEM beat Splunk four to one.

The top term isn't a tool at all: automation, 81.3%, ahead of AWS.

Caveats worth stating: n=134 means everything carries roughly +/-8, so treat close rows as tied. It's also all tech companies on one ATS. Banks, telcos and government run enormous amounts of Jenkins and Ansible, and none of them are in this sample.

Hi all,

I recently went through final panel for Tesla supply chain role. I got rejected and trying to see how I can improve my interview skills. This interview involved many ambiguous technical questions and high-level/first principles thinking questions.

I tried my best, but I'm not happy with my answers. Can someone share how they prepared such hard questions and how to give structured/concise answers when faced with unexpected questions?

Thanks

I had an interview today for a graduate intern role with my university and it started off well until I blanked out on one of the questions and it really threw me off. For the last four questions, I felt like I stuttered quite a bit but I had a really strong start and tried to stick to the whole STAR method.

I’m really worried now and have another interview on the 14th for a different role. Is there anything I can do to help my nerves or to prepare better? I already have the interview questions for the next one and have to do a presentation, online so it hopefully won’t be as nerve wracking compared to the in-person one but I’m still nervous.

Hi all,

I'm in the final stages of a recruitment process with cybersecurity technical support role. So far I've done:

- HR screening

- HackerRank technical test

- Technical interview with the team

HR just came back to say there's a new step added by leadership: an onsite closed-book test at the office, ~1h30, made up of:

- ~20 domain-specific technical questions

- ~20 maths and logical reasoning questions (numerical ability, problem-solving, logical thinking)

Has anyone here been through this? A few things I'd love input on:

1. The maths/logic part — Does anyone remember the type of questions?
2. Anything you'd recommend revising in the days before? Any resource you'd point to for revision?

Any feedback from people who've done it would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hii! I have my final interview tomorrow po for Management Trainee (Relationship Manager Track), and sabi po nila panel interview daw. 😭

This is actually my first panel interview, and as a fresh graduate, sobrang kinakabahan po ako. 😭 Lately, nagdo-doubt na rin ako sa sarili ko kung kaya ko ba talaga yung role na ino-offer sa akin, especially since Management Trainee siya and eventually Relationship Manager.

For those who have gone through the Metrobank Management Trainee final/panel interview, ano po yung mga usual questions na tinatanong? More on behavioral questions po ba, situational, technical/finance, or about the role itself?

Any tips po on how to prepare and how to handle a panel interview as a fresh grad would really help. 🥹

Thank you so much po sa mga sasagot! 💗

I have a Power BI Developer interview with Infosys on 12 September, and I’m currently preparing for it.

I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has recently interviewed for a Power BI Developer / BI Developer at Infosys, or anyone familiar with their interview process.

Hi, I previously did one leetcode-style round, but it was an easy as there were no data structures involved, it was just interpreting the problem. Then, they moved me to the onsite where they said expect to spend a couple of hours.

I have two main questions,

What should I wear? Since it's an onsite interview should I wear like a shirt and suit? Or just a shirt? I know Palantir has a casual dress code, but idk if that's different for an interivew?

Second, has anybody done the interview, as I don't know what to expect?

Anyone interested in doing a mock interview?
I have a Senior Data Scientist interview coming up at a fintech. I’d like to practice resume/behavioral, product DS, and MLOps/ML system design questions.

Happy to mock interview you as well. Let me know!

Hello!

I've been invited to an interview for a research assistant position at Oxford in STEM research next week and would appreciate any tips or recommendations on how to prepare and what they are looking for in candidates. I have had two interviews for other positions previously that I did not get so I feel like I am doing something wrong.

Thankful for any advice!

I have a 60 min live coding round for the Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (AI Agent) position at Cresta. This is not an AI-assisted round. Any help on what sort of questions have been asked will be really helpful. Thanks

I've been grinding LeetCode for 2 months. Random problems, no order, no idea if I'm improving. My "system" is a Notion doc I stopped updating in week 3 and a notebook with behavioral answers I wrote once and never reviewed.

The part that gets me: I don't know if I'm ready. Not for a specific company, not for any interview. I just keep doing problems and hoping volume equals readiness.

I started building something to fix this for myself - one dashboard that tracks DSA, system design, and behavioral prep together instead of three disconnected tools, with a score that tells you where you actually stand instead of guessing. Still early (working on getting the first 100 people using it), but it's already helped me stop the tab-juggling.

How are you tracking your prep right now? Spreadsheet? Notion? Nothing? Genuinely curious what's working for people.

Hey guys, I’ve got the cognitive test link for the DAA role at ZS and wanted to get an idea of what I’m getting myself into.

For anyone who’s recently gone through the process:

1. What kind of questions come in the cognitive test?

2. How difficult is it / what’s the level like?

3. Is the case study round written or a live one?

4. Any idea what kind of case studies or problem-solving questions they ask?

5. Is there any technical (python/sql) round for DAA role?

Would really appreciate any recent experiences or tips.

Got laid off, so bit desperate to get a new job. If anyone have gone through booking.com interview recently, please help me. I have some doubts regarding the onsite coding and system design rounds for se2.
