I was reached out by a GOOG recruiter for a L7 role. Haven’t been doing leetcode for a few years tbh. Curious what’s L7 coding round looks like? Are trey also giving a lot of LC hard for L7/L6? E7 at meta TC: about 600k after stock dip
LC mediums for me. That too medium mediums and not the harder mediums in my experience. The focus on design was a lot more but it likely depends on the interviewer. In my case, I went into the depth and almost looked like the interviewer wanted more breadth. All in all, L7 interviews are easier than L5 or so I believe.
That is a long time ago
@Netflix, mind referring? Happy to chat, before you decide.
More likely you will be lowballed to l6, to achieve that goal they will give you 2 hard questions to solve.
Yoe?

Nice, good job getting an interview for L7 with 8 YOE.
Coding interview is the same as L5, and it's not too critical for L7 (unless you completely screw up) For L7 system design interviews are a lot more important..
How does your loop look like? My recruiter has been giving me vague answers and I think they're going to down level me from 7 to 5 based on the loop I see.
It is common to down 1 level but uncommon to down 2
It’s not common for Google to hire into L7.
Correct. But it does happen and you absolutely must know your shit to get to offer and not be down leveled. Once in, there seems to be more respect for L7 at G than Meta at leadership levels.
Level determines what kind of interview you'll have. So your target level is determined before the interviews. Based on the interview results, this target level can be lowered.
two rounds medium to hard coding for L6
They will probably down level you

'Hindutva': The Radical Hindu Ideology That Seeks to 'Push Christianity Out of India’
Doesn't really make sense asking a staff engineer leetcode. Should be System design heavy with LC medium at Max.
