Currently a Sys Eng at Amazon.
Is the SRE bar at Google the same as a SWE? I heard that a lot of SWEs are recruited to become SREs.
Also what is the preferred/most popular language for SREs over at Google? Go/Python?
The job postings I see are listed as Systems Engineering - SRE

SRE could be a SWE or a System Engineer. The first one has the same bar because is a SWE position.
You could expect lower algorithm bar for SE, but higher system bar.
1. Sys Admin SREs (who does mostly pushes and other day to day routine tasks).
2. SWE SRE (who writes toolchains for SREs to do push effectively).
So if you are going for the sys admin side then coding questions should be easy to medium. But if you are going to SWE SRE then expect full fledged SWE level interview.
