Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Toptal
Colloquio
4 stages:
- Phone call: Very easy; you go over your resume but I'm pretty sure this step is only for screening English proficiency.
- Online "leetcode"-like questions: 3 questions ranging from easy to hard. My questions weren't particularly challenging.
- Technical interview with screen sharing: This is the hardest part in my opinion. You share your screen and are asked to solve 2 leetcode-style questions in 10 minutes each. The pressure is very high.
- Take home project: This was easy and anybody who can remotely call themselves senior should be able to complete without any issues.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
- Coin change problem,
- One problem where they give you ordered letter pairs and ask you to construct the word they spell out:
"T>O", "A>L", "P>T", "O>P", "T>A" --> answer should be: TOPTAL.
Something along those lines, I may be misremembering exact details.

Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
the easy was the count words in the biggest string
1 HR, 2 leet code, 1 project, 1 project defence
If you fail one of the leet codes you have a chance to re-apply again after a year. It wasn't bad, but its going downhill now. 2022 there weare about 300+ job offerings for my role, now less than 60
After two technical rounds that went over 1.5 hours, in which I was told I was going to move forward I got an email saying that they found someone else.
