Hard work paid off, no more 🥜 ! Four offers - Stripe, Qualtrics, ByteDance and Flexe. To all my fellow Blinders trying to VWYF, don't give up hope. It will get better. Offer details below: Stripe - L2b, 175k base, 10% bonus, 127k Annual RSU grant. Interviews were quite intriguing, challenging and simple. Qualtrics - L4, 170k base, 5% bonus, > 300k rsu with 40% front vesting after yr 1. Pretty strong offer though decided to turn it down as the team work didn't align with my career goals. Standard LC problems ByteDance - 2-1, TC: ~300k. Mix of Non-LC & LC hard problems Flexe - L4, 170k base, 240k rsu. Overall interview experience was great. Standard LC problems. Rejects from Zulily and Apple - bad experience at both due to unprepared and rude interviewers. Location: All Seattle I found a team at Stripe which strongly matches my area of interest. Thus, have decided to sign the their offer and cancel the other interviews in the pipeline. Prep Strategy: - Top LC questions and weekly spaced-out repetiton for problems which were difficult to solve for me such as Median of Two Sorted Arrays, Skyline Problem etc. - System Design: DDIA, YouTube videos, published research papers etc. Current TC - 190k, L61 New TC - 320k #tech #offers
You mentioned few tips on system design but can you share few more tips on how to prepare for that as too much scattered info everywhere. Assuming I have no real system design experience
educative.io System Design course is a good starter. You should be able to chart your learning path after that.
Good shit. Congrats!
