Hi blinders! I just get an offer from LinkedIn infra team. To clarify, it’s “infra”, not “data infra”.
My questions:
1. What’s the wlb of LinkedIn infra? I heard usually infra team will be busy with many on-calls, so what about LinkedIn infra?
2. How challenging is the work on infra teams? I assume more design and less code? I’m junior engineer so I’m hardworking and eager to grow, but I lack of experience so worried if my performance is not good enough.
3. How easy is the internal transfer among LinkedIn Systems & Infra orgs? I’m planning to stay in LinkedIn for a few years and hopefully can learn in multiple teams. And can I transfer to “data infra” team?
4. After gaining infra/platform experience, my ultimate goal is work on ML platform/infra, so what’s the chance of learning ML stuff (say internal ML training)?
Many thanks!

2. I would expect more coding initially and less design but if you take initiative or if there’s no one to design then hey, you design.
3. Transfers are usually pretty straightforward and I have seen several people move around.
4. You could apply for ML role. There might be a possibility for internal transfer without or without interview. ML requires some experience, I would expect there to be some process.
