I have an upcoming onsite #interview at #Microsoft for the role of #sde2 with the team of DIG ( Data Insights and Growth) - part of #O365 #Office Does anyone have any insights about the interview questions or any helpful tips for the same?
If your angling for 63, behavioral interviews will be key and need to show taking leadership at least at the team level.
Definitely take a look at the design. I would echo vtWY77 as well. I've seen a chat app, like the what's app asked. I was a bit different than some interviews because I had 2 design questions. I've had medium to hard questions. Picking the right data structures for the job is key and get something down then optimize as you go/debug if you need to. DEBUG your code don't just pass over it. Great video from Google where Edgar explains his thought process very well: https://youtu.be/XKu_SEDAykw Design YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMCXHnjXnTnvo6alSjVkgxV-VH6EPyvoX I like Kevin N's videos. I would tackle the same question on leet code then watch his video and compare answers. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKvwPt6BifPP54yzH99ff1g Lastly the day can be nerve-racking but just remember to have fun and you made it this far to get the eyes of a great company, you got this! Stay positive through the day no matter what and each interview is a fresh slate.
Thanks a lot for sharing these resources!! I recently started watching the series by Gaurav Sen and I'm a fan of Kevin's leetcode solutions videos. He makes it looks so easy and explains really well. You've got some useful tips I can work on. They seem really helpful. I guess I need to focus the rest of my time system design, I'm pretty new to such problems. This helps. Thanks again!
This is the very good team and best one in o365. Good luck for the interviews. Microsoft interviews are not very tough, but more about luck. If you are already giving interviews, you may crack it. Also, the team that you are talking about, has a bunch of openings.
Thanks for the insights and wishes. Glad to know that I have a chance to join a good team.
Hey @SIMk81 could you please comment on... what Technology stack is used in o365 teams...
Hey can you let me know, how was your interview? I have one coming up.
I can tell you from a general point of view, they for the most part ask leetcode medium questions, and typical design questions such as design redit. one favorite is designing a distributed api rate limiter. I have interviewed three times at Microsoft, joining next month as L63 in different org.
Yes, I'm already practicing my leetcode. Thanks for the design questions tips. This helps. And congrats on joining MS!!
TC?
