Is the bar for engineering manager system design same as the IC bar? Interviewing for L5/6 right now but not confident that I can clear a Google staff swe system design bar.
I found it much easier than FB. I cleared google HC , but I failed FB - for system design
I started the process with Google but when the recruiter said it was a 4 month process I backed out. Do people really put up with that?
I would say it’s higher than a SWE level. Reason is: in addition to being detailed, you need to be very articulate too, and presentation has to be perfect
Same as a senior SWE The interviewer interviewing you would most likely be a SWE and would grade you at same level as he/she would a SWE
So an L6 EM needs to clear the bar of a Staff swe?
Don’t know what level staff falls at You get lot of very in-depth questions on design and components Something that you can’t learn with a resource like grokking etc.
