Just messed up my Facebook SQL interview for final round, I have 3 behavioural tomorrow to complete it. I feel like just cancelling the rest of the interviews now. Seems like no point after messing up the technical part. Please advise?

Not to be a downer but you shouldn’t get your hopes up. In my experience interviewing for and hiring at FAANG you need perfect technical to be considered

Hate to be a downer too, but my partner works at Facebook and can confirm for the technical roles they highly value you getting the technical tests correct to be considered.

See it through! I totally messed up my first ever case interview and I considered ending the process right there, but I decided to stick with it just to try to demonstrate resilience. Well apparently that worked because I got the job.

Even if it doesn’t work out that way this time, the behaviorals will provide good interview practice, and you will make 3 new connections at FB who might be able to connect you to other roles.

Thanks

relax. Show up and enjoy the process. You never know what might happen. Make them fall in love with who you are. You can always improve the technical aspect on the job

like

Just stay confident and try to give your best on the remaining round. Who knows they might like you and feel that you will be a better fit in the team and might be willing to ignore some mishaps on Technical round. My 2 cents. All the best ! And also it can be a learning process

Thanks!

F*ck it— it happens. Unless your time could be better spent, I wouldn’t cancel the interviews because it’s good practice anyways.

What were the technical questions btw?

like

A Sql question requiring CTEs. Did not understand the question plus they only provide the Column headers with example so it threw me off

I've felt this way before and then it turned out I didn't do as bad as I'd thought and I got the job - I say go and act like you'd already nailed it

Show up with a smile and worst case you get more interview practice. Don’t bow out!

agreed with the comments above, show up and put your best foot forward! you never know that the other candidates might have effed up their technical so now it’s down to the behavioral. also, if you do well, there’s another chance they might realign you to a different position

Cheer up OP.. there will be many more opportunities down the line

Hi,
Attended interview in hexaware, selected and completed CAF form. HR mentioned that it's sent for approval. But it's been a week and didn't got offer letter.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
