I have an onsite coming up for Reddit as a staff and there’s a “backend engineering/skillset specific interview” vs “general programming” session. General programming sounds like a non-leetcode programming question, pretty straightforward. The backend/specific skillset one says it focuses on distributed systems, networking, caching, databases, servers. What kind of questions can I possibly be given here? Am i expected to write an app that interacts with these things? I’m not even sure how to prep. tc $220k after 4 year cliff + stock drop, 8 yoe #tech #reddit #onsite #interviews
General programming is going to be pretty standard LC problems, usually medium trending towards easy. BE is practical, you will build something that does stuff, if you can read documentation you’re good. It is not particularly difficult.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification on the BE session! I’ve read mixed messages about the general programming in terms of whether it’s LC but I should be fine with easy/medium!
Yeah, there are no general programming questions that are not LC patterned problems.
Hey op can I dm you?
Hey OP, Did you do any homework on Reddit’s comp structure? Is a good chunk of comp stocks? What are they defending their stock price at currently?
