10 Priority Practice Questions
Offer.cc editorial practice exercises; they are not an official company question bank or actual interview questions.
Use setTimeout and clearTimeout. Handle leading/trailing edge variants. Think about 'this' context and argument forwarding.
Consider debounced input, async API calls, keyboard navigation (arrow keys + enter), and caching. Highlight matching text in results.
Track resolved count. Resolve when all promises complete. Reject immediately on first failure. Maintain result order matching input order.
Recursive approach with path tracking. Use dot notation for keys (e.g., 'a.b.c'). Handle arrays vs objects differently.
Component tree, virtualized list for performance, optimistic updates, real-time updates via WebSocket, infinite scroll pagination. Start with the overall structure and main judgment, then compare trade-offs and state the relevant limits and failure paths.
Handle hover preview, click to select, half-star support. Accessibility: keyboard navigation and ARIA labels.
Handle circular references, Date, RegExp, Map, Set. Recursive approach with a WeakMap for cycle detection.
IntersectionObserver for scroll detection. Batch loading with loading indicators. Consider windowing/virtualization for large lists.
Methods: on(), off(), emit(), once(). Store listeners in a Map. Handle edge cases: removing listener during emit, duplicate subscriptions.
Real-time messaging via WebSocket. Message ordering, offline support, optimistic UI. Component structure: thread list, message pane, input.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Section sources [1] Preparing for Your Full Loop Interview at Meta
Treating practice prompts as a fixed question bank
The prompts train problem solving, communication, and trade-offs; they do not claim that the company asks the same questions. Practice transferable methods instead of memorizing answers.
Giving a conclusion without trade-offs
State assumptions, explain why you chose an approach, and name alternatives. Ask for clarification when information is missing so the reasoning remains useful across questions.
Skipping edge cases and validation
After answering, check input boundaries, failure paths, complexity, and engineering constraints. Validate the approach with one concrete example and correct any gap you find.
Not checking the latest role instructions
Roles, teams, and recruiting arrangements change. Recheck the official role sources before the interview and follow the recruiter’s latest instructions for language, tools, and process.
