Hi Everyone! I have an upcoming virtual onsite interview in a few weeks for a Level 6 software engineering position at Google. During this process, there are two rounds dedicated to system design. I'm seeking clarity on the types of questions typically asked in these rounds. Can I anticipate standard system design questions such as those related to platforms like YouTube, Twitter, or logging and metrics systems? Or should I prepare for questions focusing more on designing databases or caches etc? If possible, could anyone share a few examples of the types of questions I might encounter? Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! EOY: 10 TC: 375 #google #swe #tech
It seems like the interviewers have a lot of freedom. I got a domain specific one that was just a bunch of open ended questions with no feedback (so was basically talking to a wall), and then a distributed algorithm question. I got the offer, but it was strange that neither one was a typical System Design question. But,.again,.taking with other folks,.I think that was an anomaly.
Thanks! Can I DM you to get the specifics of the questions?
