Hello, after failing googles phone screen and getting ghosted by Amazon post OA, I finally got my first on-site! I had the phone screen on Friday and immediately heard back 2 hours later that I would be pivoting to on-site!

The weird thing is the recruiter said I need to apply to a position at LinkedIn and said after we will be moving to onsite. It is for software engineer, apps, on business manager.

Regardless, I have 1yoe, what do you think I can expect in terms of types of rounds for on-site? I am hoping no system design, as all I have prepped is leet code…

Thanks

  • It varies a little from team to team but the usual template is to have 5 onsite rounds (some teams take 4).
    2 lc types, 1 implementation based and the other more of algorithmic based
    1 system design
    1 tech communication- discussion on your previous work experience and resume
    1hiring manager
    Note that in the system design we would have very low expectations from a junior. Knowing the basics and fundamentals of systems should be enough for you

  • What exactly role are you applying for? The interviews differ significantly from role to role.

    • I see. For a junior role just focus on coding. System design is not as important but don't completely bomb it either.

      What are the differences in SWE tracks when it comes to interviews? I heard system design for the infra track focuses more on concurrency topics and may be weighed more.

      I forget. Some sort of new sales platform team at LinkedIn. And I never did the on-site. I got a job offer somewhere else and went with it.
