I was lucky enough to get offers from all four of these great companies.
I’m interested in backend services/infra. I have about 2 years of experience. Any ideas on which to choose? My goal is to learn as much as possible. I always want a collaborative environment and teammates that are great to work with.
Pay is roughly the same. Uber is lower but comp isn’t my deciding factor.
Edit:
For those who asked:
I prepped with two months of leetcode. I did the top 100 questions liked and top 100 interview questions. This involved solving the questions and sometimes just analyzing answers. This depends on your learning style.
System design: using grokking system design. Some might say the course isn’t worth it but it’s only $80 and every little bit helps. I also watched Tushar Roy’s videos on YouTube. With these two resources I was able to pass system design for SDE II level equivalent.
In addition, I gave several interviews at companies I didn’t care about. This helped a lot, and at the end I had pretty much seen all types of questions.
There’s no secret other than practice. It’s sad the previous work experience doesn’t matter but that’s just how it works now.
Compensation:
If you’ve read other blind numbers and they seem high it’s definitely achievable to get those. 250 TC+ is reasonable with a lot of counter offers. Remember once you pass the interviews or several of them you have leverage. Use it! Good luck to everyone in the process. It’s definitely worth it when you can 2x your current comp!
