Should I ever bother with Meta interview?

Hi, I was reached out to by a Meta recruiter for one of the security engineer summer intern roles, but I feel very unprepared. I’ve never done ANY leetcode questions (only some of the very very easy ones) and never thought to prepare for a coding interview cuz I didn’t think it’d be necessary — coding I have done I’ve of course used the resources available to me Google, StackOverflow, ChatGPT, etc.

Anyways, I was reached out to schedule the first technical screen which is; first half coding, second half behavioral.

Questions I have: 1. How long do you think I need to prepare for the interview given my circumstances?

  1. How to even prepare? I’m assuming the first screen would be a leetcode easy maybe, or a custom security question, as it’s not a pure software engineering role.

  2. Is it worth it to even attempt this? I’d rather allocate my time to school work instead if there’s like a 100% chance I fail. Also, I’d have a clean slate if I wanted to reapply to Meta ever again rather than having a recorded poor performance.

    Thank you.
