Bloomberg New Grad System Design??

Does Bloomberg asked system design questions in their senior manager round for new grads? I’m getting mixed reviews and am not sure if I should prepare for system design.

No

Senior manager round for new grad is trying to sell u to come to BB instead of FAANG.

What’s SBU? I do lots of campus interviews. No need to do all correct. If you got senior manager rounds that means you passed technical portion. HR/Senior rounds are finals yes

Bloomberg WORK<GO> Oct 15, 2020

SBU not particularly a target but I’m sure we recruit there due to proximity. If it was campus interviews, they would have reached out to schedule senior round within 1-2 days at latest

I assumed candidates get asked behavioral questions in the senior manager round

Mine was not behavioural

I am experienced hire. Got asked system design (literally Design Uber lol), and i did alright... Still got the job tho You may be asked something but it will not affect your offer unless you really screw up. Just ask a lot of questions.

Was this for NYC or London location?

HR told me to prepare for system design but the interviewer never ended up asking about it and instead asked about my personal projects

However preparing for system design is useful in software engineering

Got asked a system design question in my interview last week for a new grad position. I was guided to the solution. Apparently, I won't be able to pass.

What were you asked to design? Have an on-site myself soon but for senior position.

Design a system to find where the latency happen in a distributed system

Hey dude, I know you posted this years ago, but I was wondering how the manager round went? Were you asked any system design / technical questions? Any advice on how I should prepare?
