Hi Ladies/ moms,
Just as every engineer has this dream to get into FANG companies, I started preparing for Senior Software Engineer interviews end of 2017.
Being a working mom of a first grader and kindergartener, I used to prepare in the evenings and weekends (with husband taking care of the kids related activities and other chores). My preparation was on and off based on how things were busy at home/ work/ kids.
I interviewed onsite at Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and Netflix. After the onsite’s the feedback I received was that I did well in behavioral, system design. However needed to get better at coding.
Honestly, with kids growing up, I find that it wouldn’t be fair on my part to lock myself in a room and leetcode evenings/ weekends. Whenever the kids see me with a notepad and laptop - they usually say mom is again back to doing her homework.
Should I look into switching to management or technical program management?
I find that I would be unable to devote more time towards leetcode/ though I am interested to - I don’t think my family can go through this again.
Also, my interests are to build systems to scale. Have over 9 years of experience and a Masters in CS.
Any thoughts - anybody on the same boat?
