All dev positions must pass the algorithms/coding interview, unfortunately front end as well (which was what I wanted). A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. We talked, and I was given "resources" to describe what the tech interview would involve. I wish she had told me what specific data structures to have down because I am a front-end dev and it's been years since I've worked with hashmaps.

The interviewer was awesome, super nice, helpful, and patient. I did not pass because it was literally the only data structure I didn't master. Otherwise, the problem itself wasn't bad at all, and I should have tried a different way.

The recruiter is where I say it became a bad experience. I told her the news and asked if it would be possible to retake now that I understand hashmaps better, or if not, when would I be able to reapply or how many months?

She did not respond. I decided to email – no response. It was a simple question. I wasted an entire week studying for nothing.
