The OA felt standard, but the onsite was tougher than expected. I tripped up during the live coding round—even though I had done plenty of LeetCode, solving under pressure was different. Looking back, I wish I had done more mock interviews or reviewed real interview flows ahead of time. Platforms like Hack2Hire can help simulate that pressure and show you what kinds of questions actually come up, especially for companies like TikTok.
