Hello everyone! I'm an sde with ~1.75 yrs of exp in the US and 1 yr in India. I've an upcoming SDE 2 interview with Aws. Would I be getting ood or should I also prepare for actual system design. (like design Amazon shopping cart, Twitter, insta etc.) (Recruiter couldn't help resolve this doubt) Thank you! TC 140k.
Where did u do the mocks. I need some practice material too. What guide do u follow @op
Pramp, reading donne Martin, dynamo, Aurora papers. Contemplating whether grokking sys design is worth it.
Grokking has basic stuff. It provides a list of points to cover for a given question and gets repetitive after a couple of sample use cases
System Design like design Shopping cart etc
Thank you! Will they be focusing a lot on scaling it to millions/billions of requests, database schema design etc, considering I've a total of approx. 3y of exp?
For SDE2 yes . Expects questions on why you chose this design and evaluating the pro's and cons with another design . Maybe even a bit of code for one of the API' s .
Both
Thank you! But I did a couple of sys design mocks, and I sucked so bad at them. So, I am reading and practicing more. I've worked on large scale systems, but haven't been involved in designing them just yet. 😣 Any idea on how high the bar is for them?
