Is HackerRank a good way to learn how to program? I'm aware that HackerRank is generally used by employers to see how skilled a potential employee is. For someone like me who's in high school and coding leisurely (and professionally in the near future), would HackerRank be a good way to learn?
3 weeks ago, I applied to Tiktok's Frontend 2023 Graduate program and promptly got an invite to their Online Assessment on Hackerrank. I've always sucked at Leetcode , so I studied for it for nights.
Is hackerrank hard or am I just a bad programmer? I've been working through HackerRank (for like almost a year now) and recently I've been focusing on the mathematics, functional programming, and algorithms sections (I've already completed python and regex).
Hey, I had an interview for what I considered my dream company. It’s a prestigious startup doing exactly what I wanted. The screener call with a founding engineer went really well, the next step was a hackerrank.

However, if you have understood the problem statement, the problems are actually easy. (my ...
If you don't finish the coding challenge on HackerRank, is it pretty much guaranteed you won't get the job? I've done 2 coding challenges on HackerRank so far as part of interview processes and both times, I was unable to complete the challenge.
JP Morgan is know to ghost after the HackerRank even if you completely ace and pass all test cases. They get way too many applicants that ace the HR so it’s still super RNG to move through
Nah I think with a week or two of practice I'll be okay. I'm generally pretty good at leetcode-style stuff; I did contest math in high school and did quite well (qualified for USAMO). I've heard that trading firm OAs like Citadel ask math-oriented questions which plays into my strengths even more.
Think i’ve spent less than 20 mins actually solving the Qs and the rest of the time trying to translate the code to python / java and make hackerrank’s compiler shut up.
