Feel like shit failing Design interview rounds
I thought it went very well and I covered a good deal of details on handling concurrency and trade offs but with recruiters not providing any feedback I am unable to understand.
At this point , I am really willing to pay good money ๐ฐ if I get to shadow successful candidate interviews and learn.
Also, not clearing interviews is making me feel I am the worst engineer which I know is not true but how do I help get out of that feeling.
I do have 2 offers but not in the nicest state of mind. So end of rant with 2 questions
1. How much is the detail one looks in 45 minutes and how do I get good at it ? Sometimes it seems impossible if you are quizzed in an area you are not familiar with. DDIA done and grokking too, Also watched bunch of youtube videos. Maybe articulation is an issue?
2. How to not feel the shittiest developer ever when facing rejection?

The most recent was designing a calendar. I talked about needing an API and this mofo tells me why do we need an API already. How the fuck will you store shit and invite others if you donโt communicate outside of the client? So fucking irritating, and my annoyance shines through because I hope theyโre pretending to be idiots but thereโs a modicum of doubt that they arenโt
DM me if you want more details.
