      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Meta

      Interview

      Wen through standard screening call then the TA. The TA was a much higher difficulty then the prep guide. Not so much the difficulty of the question from a technical perspective, but understanding what the question was actually asking for. Example would be a problem like bookstore checkout system, but the explanation of it was sort of vague and the interviewer didn't really help me clear it up.
