Thanks for your reply, funnily enough the system design / previous project portions of interviews usually go much better for me. This last interview I did I got a very high score on the system design conversation but failed the coding portion miserably.
I’m not sure why that is the case for me, it’s almost like because it’s supposed to be more of a conversation I loosen up more instead of what I usually get during my live coding interviews which is “here is the link, good luck!” then silence from the interviewer for 45 min.
I have observed in the past that I’m worried about not communicating enough and communicating too much during the live coding portions, so that is definitely an extra hoop to jump through that’s hard for me to not think about during the interview
