Interview

Rejected from Goldman Sachs - the HackerRank was brutal

The Goldman Sachs online assessment on HackerRank was one of the toughest I've seen. 5 questions in 120 minutes:

2 were basic SQL queries (easy)
1 medium DSA problem
1 hard graph problem
1 math/number theory problem that I couldn't even understand

Managed to solve 3.5 out of 5 but didn't clear the cutoff. The cutoff seems to be around 4+ from what I've heard.

Anyone else found GS assessments harder than actual FAANG interviews?

I totally feel you. I took the same assessment last month and found the math problem ridiculously hard. Ended up guessing on that one. Do you think the time management was an issue too?
