“Classic Meta product sense question and I still felt underprepared.”
“This is where I spent the most time and probably where I lost the most points.”
“The 36% number is a gift because it maps directly to variance reduction.”
“This one is deceptively big.”
“This is the main prompt and it ballooned fast.”
“I fumbled this a bit.”
“I started with the naive thing, single-source BFS from each gate separately, and the interviewer let me finish before asking what the complexity was.”
“This was basically five questions glued together and they expected a coherent answer, not five separate answers.”
“I went straight to retention and re-engagement because acquisition felt too obvious, but looking back I probably should have structured it more before diving in.”
“Pretty simple linear scan, just iterate and accumulate when the element is between S and E.”
