As title says, I am interviewing at Meta and recruiter asked me to choose between System & Product design. As I read through so called meta career portal and guides; both look similar to me. I am confused because recruiter explained something weird shit and I don’t want to make bad choice which will land me in infrastructure related teams at Meta. Does anybody have suggestions on what should I go for? I am a Software Engineer and interviewing for E5 position at Meta. TC:180K
System design is more backend focused with API design, DB design, performance tradeoffs, resource estimations
But does it matter if you choose either one? How it impacts during team matching?
Probably you’ll be matched to either product or infra teams based on your profile
