I haven’t done shit today!
What are expectations from e6 vs e5 in system design interviews? How do you evaluate whether it's a pass or fail? Can you share your evaluation process? In return I can explain my evaluation process for Google's system design interviews, if anyone interested. Thanks
Can you honestly expect it to be that much different than how T6 vs. T5 is evaluated over at G?
I don't want to make assumptions.
How complete is the design, how much can the candidate drive the discussion (while being mindful of feedback/direction given by the interviewer), how expansive is the answer (while also going deep enough to show real understanding rather than just buzzword regurgitation). There's some other stuff too, but that's kind of the gist.
Thanks a lot. That helps
I can't imagine Google being that different, in a general sense.
I really don't understand when ppl say you are expected to drive discussions. I had an experience where I had multiple approaches and was discussing one of them to start with and the interviewer seemed to cut me off to discuss the next one. It's Fucking impossible to read interviewer's mind and it's a bit of luck what feedback you eventually end up with. In my case, I felt so shitty when the feedback was I didn't drive the discussion even though I know that's not entirely true!
Unfortunately that happens sometimes, especially with newer uncalibrated interviewers. I would try to summarize options, trade offs and ask interviewer whether to deep dive in any one of them.
Well in my opinion with a tight timeline of just 45 mins, it's not really possible to even title-surface each possible approach without making it sound like jibberish.
I would be pretty interested in what you explain. Sorry but I do not have anything to offer in return.
For me probing is a key factor in deciding leveling. L4: needs a lot of probing. What if traffic increases 10x? Will your solution work if X,Y, Z happens? How do you handle failure in this part? Etc. L5: should offer multiple solutions and analyse trade offs with minimal probing l6: I have never interviewed L6, but I guess the expectation is that candidate fully drives the conversation.
Thank you!
