TikTok

4 weeks after: * 2 technical interviews, including 1-2 LeetCode problems (medium-hard). * HM (Hiring Manager) behavioral/technical interview. * Little deep dive into resume, mostly coding. * Team matching. * Offer.

The role was for a software engineer, specifically a recommendation system machine learning engineer. It was a good interview; the questions were technical and situational. The situational questions, in particular, related to TikTok’s recommendation

I passed the OA and got a follow-up in 5 days. The OA was very difficult, LeetCode hard. I don't know what else to say. Grind harder, and do not go there if you can.
