This was my second chance with Facebook; the first time, I didn't pass the phone screen.

After one year of my failure, I was contacted by a recruiter.

• Phone screen 1: An array problem with a follow-up. A tree problem: The interviewer didn't explain the question very well. I tried to solve what I thought she was asking, but it wasn't what she intended.

The recruiter told me that I would have another phone screen, which was scheduled for two weeks later.

• Phone screen 2: A matrix problem that I was able to optimize.

I passed to the onsite. I scheduled it around three months later.

Onsite: It was a virtual onsite due to COVID. Each interview lasted 45 minutes.

1. A graph problem: I misunderstood the problem. I had to refactor my code and was able to solve it, but I didn't have time to code the follow-up.
2. Behavior interview.
3. Two coding questions: I was able to solve the first problem. I didn't have time to think of an optimal solution for the second problem.
4. System Design.
5. Two coding questions: I was able to solve the first problem. I gave a brute force solution for the second problem.

Two days after my onsite, the recruiter called me and asked some questions about my previous experience.

Ten days after my onsite, I got an offer, but they offered me a non-negotiable Rotational SWE role. I accepted the offer.
