70+ System design Interview Questions with a FAANG Senior Engineer 📚
"Why do you do so many different approaches to the problems?"
My intended audience is senior+ level engineers.
Unlike with mid-level rounds where quickly regurgitating a template you had memorized the night before is "acceptable", senior level interviews are typically tailored and personalized by the interviewer, meaning that any "template" that you memorize and regurgitate is just going to lead to failing the interview.
"Can you just do some interview style videos?"
There's already a wide variety of videos out there in that style that you're welcome to watch instead, but I've never been impressed by what I've seen in them -- even when they're allegedly answered by a "google engineer" or "staff/principal engineer".
I'd like to do things like machine count estimates in future videos; however, that seems like a trivial and repetitive process whe
n you get the pattern to it.
