Had a first round case interview over the phone today that was supposed to last 30 minutes. After 20 minutes, the interviewer abruptly ended the call. Assuming this is a bad sign?

When I cut cases short it’s because I’ve already decided I like you and don’t want to waste my time or I’ve already decided I’m not passing you on to the next round and don’t want to waste my time. If I like you and cut the case short I generally fill the time asking questions and getting to know you better though.

Not necessarily, maybe he/she was getting crushed and you rocked it.

Could be anything - how was the interview going? Just reach out and see if they want to schedule another 30 minutes to continue the conversation

Not necessarily a bad sign

After a final interview, how many days after can I expect an answer from the recruiter?

At the end of the interview, the person told me I passed the interview and they were going to talk to the Director who’s a level under them. It’s a yes for them and they’re happy to work with me.

I also sent my references. I don’t know when I can expect an reply. Recruiters from that company aren’t really organised

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

What's say?
