Having gotten an offer at Uber a year ago I really thought I would have a chance at getting an offer again. I passed all of my phone screens with 100% success. I studied for two months with a whiteboard in my room. Watched several videos on system design. Completed almost 300 LC.
Ultimately I think my background wasnβt a great fit or I would botch one of the coding/system design questions. Itβs generally hard for me to architect high scale web services on the spot with my background in low scale data center distributed systems.

Though if you come to us, we will make you write some on a white board too.
Time is on your side and good luck !
