behavioral phone interview, then coding challenge on codesignals. A little disappointed in myself I definitely felt like I could've aced the test. I got stuck on the second question and found myself panicking. What didnt help was that these questions had like super long ACT-style essay prompts so there was a lot of information in there, and I found myself having a hard time navigating for specific information I wasn't sure of. I decided to navigate to the final question, which again was a very long essay-style prompt. That took out another chunk of my time as I had to read it many many times to make sure I understood everything. At this point, I didn't have a lot of time left, so I proceeded to return the second question which I fixed the failing test cases and passed all test cases. Unfortunately, I had 5 minutes left and didn't get to a point where I had a solution on the third question. While I am always a little apprehensive about doing coding challenges as opposed to getting the opportunity to code with an engineer as I do prefer the human interaction, I liked the fact that these questions were very applicable to what a day at Thumbtack might look like versus the silly coding questions one often gets typically asked on these challenges. So, I have no hard feelings about this because of the applicable questions. Just wish I had the opportunity to prove myself more beyond this coding challenge as Thumbtack looks like a really great company to work for.
