How good do you have to be at system design interview at 1 YOE for interviews at Microsoft and LinkedIn? Never done a sys design interview before Don’t have a lot of time to prep ( <= 1 week) so is going over grokking system design and system design primer good enough? #systemdesign #microsoft #linkedin #swe

If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
One week is more than enough
Thanks that’s reassuring 🥺
Honestly depends on your interviewer. I was in a similar boat and received a borderline hire from LinkedIn when I think for my experience level I did pretty good. I would just say make sure you can justify your design choices and understand the patterns you are using inside and out
Thank you! How did you prep?
How can you tell you received a borderline hire? Thought they don't disclose feedback. Genuinely curious.
Lc tagged for phone screen? I’d say the bar isn’t high for 1 YOE. I’m surprised they’re even putting you through a loop with system design
Yeah I’m surprised too 🙃
How was the phone screen? I have one scheduled next week, can you help me with what to expect in the phone interview?
It went really well. 2 questions (1 easy, 1 medium) with follow-ups for each in an hour. If you’ve done most of blind 75 (grind75.com) you should be good. It wasn’t anything outside of that or other common leetcode questions as such. I’d say they were doable even if you hadn’t seen them before. The interviewer also worked with me, gave hints, etc. for their follow-ups so it was clear what they were looking for.
Did you have your on-site already at LinkedIn?
Hey @afteryou can you share your design round experience?

Are you scheduled for interviews with LinkedIn?
Yes made it to onsite
great! what’s your location?
