How to be content in life?
Does anyone know what the lyft front end interviews are like? Specifically the system design portion - is it a generalist one, or more of a front end focused one, like Facebook?
You will be asked to design a decently sized UI component and its backing API. Be prepared to discuss pros/cons of the API design, caching, state management, UX, etc. Word of warning: they are extremely nit picky in the system design. My interviewer assumed a flaw in the design of my state management when I hadn’t even discussed state management yet. When he pointed it out, I immediately elaborated on how it would be designed to avoid that issue, and he agreed. Feedback came back with a “no hire” from that interview because there was a “flaw in my state management design and I needed help realizing it.” That was from a 10 second back and forth in 45 minutes of design. Ridiculous.
Lyft's front end interviews are highly hands on and front end focused where you can code on your own laptop and will be asked to write JS functions, a game or a UI component. I disagree that the process is like Facebook's. Both companies' front end interview process asks domain-specific questions but Facebook asks only function types and makes you write on a whiteboard. I personally prefer Lyft's process.
