Current TC 200k YOE 2.5 I just got contacted by a Netflix recruiter. How can I ace the interview? I am very strong in the fundamentals and have no problem with LeetCode style problems. But for some reason companies always put me on new and R&D style projects. So I’ve been working in all kinds of things including web frontend, web backend, graphics, iOS, Android and algorithms, so I probably only have 0.5 year of experience each. How can I ace Netflix interview? I heard they really care about candidates’ experience.
Just give it a try. Being generalist has also its positive side.
I’ve been labeled “Jack of all trades” twice. I am afraid of being humiliated for not knowing some knowledge of things I claimed I’ve worked on. I can look it up at work. That’s how I managed to deliver when I was assigned something I’ve never done before. But during an interview I may just stand there like a fool.
Don't think being a generalist would help at Netflix. Their interviews are specific to the role. So if you're interviewing for iOS you should know your shit in and out. Leetcode won't help
In f2f pitch 2-3 of your strongest areas. Mention other areas as well but be open that you haven't worked very long on these. Note: I don't have any specific exp regarding Netflix.
You are making 200k with 2.5 years of experience! WTF 😮
They don’t have fang like interviews, concurrency , system design have to be your strong suite. Algorithms will be more easy to less medium in leetcode
Create 2 profiles. Use the first one as a dummy. Fake companies and fake education. Do the interview...then schedule a second interview with your real profile. This is how I got in Google.
Be the right person for the job, and show that this is true. Also, don't be a jerk.
Study the culture deck and be prepared to talk about a few things that stuck out to you
Did you pass Netflix interview and how was it?
Umm
