Currently a Google L4. Applied for Sr. at Square, thought I was getting L5, but interviewer clarified with me during our call that they're actually targeting me for L6. I'm happy about it, because L6 is more in line with my comp expectations, but also feeling a little underprepared. Is L6 Square's senior? Senior-2? Staff? Anything I should watch out for as far as giving strong signals on the pair programming & design rounds? Is there a typical system design question I should watch out for? etc. Blind tax: TC: 300k YOE: 7
Your recruiter will send you the SD question. Communicate a lot and write clear code. Run it often. Test it. Explain what you're doing and tradeoffs, etc.
The recruiter sent me an SD question but it was unclear to me whether it was just an example or the actual SD question I'll be doing. Is it normal for Square to tell their candidates exactly the question to expect? I realize implementation is a whole 'nother thing, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't being psyched out.
Yeah they tell you... That's the question
Did you disclose your level at Google?
Don't think I ever did. Overall my experience with Square has been really nice. Did really well on the first rounds, based my leveling so far off that.
I was in the same boat, gave L6 Square interviews and joining them soon. Interviewing at Square was one of the greatest interviewing experiences for me. All interviews from pair programming to system design to culture fit seemed like discussions. I wasn't able to completely finish one of the pair programming questions but they liked my approach and I got the hire call. My advice listen to what jjabroni mentioned religiously!
Iāll be honest, so far I really enjoy the interview process. Definitely one of my favorites, and a bit opposite from Metaāfeels like Iām not being drilled. Mind if I DM you to learn more about your experience? Thanks!
Did you get the L6 offer eventually?
Senior-2ish
Thanks for clarifying. Mind if I DM you with some follow-up questions?
