I had my first 60-minute backend SDE interview today. Technical issues caused a slight delay in joining. After introductions and discussing my experience, the coding segment started. The first coding problem took longer than expected to explain and complete. Despite not running the code, the interviewer affirmed its correctness and my logic. We then moved to the second question, where I explained the algorithm, seemingly to satisfaction.

My concern is not executing the first coding question and the interview running over as I corrected it and transitioned to the second. Has anyone advanced to the next round after a similar experience?

Also does in person onsite mandatory during the loop or virtual onsite is okay, with 5 day RTO going to Bay area for interview would be tricky

Regarding the recent visa bulletin, is anyone worried that we might end up competing for EB-1A visa numbers within the very first month of the fiscal year? I'm foreseeing a time when we'll be forced to file petitions before January/February just to secure a spot. I reached out to a few law firms — Manifest and Colombo Hurd this week, and the message I got from both was to apply only once I have a strong profile, and that they would help with refiling if needed. I was initially considering self-petitioning, but now I feel I should go through a law firm instead.
