1. What needs to happen for me to get promoted ? 
 2. What's the on-call scene? 
 3. What is the one major milestone of next 3 months for the team? 
  
 These questions tell the manager that -  
 1. you can zoom in (promotion) and out (milestone) 
 2. plus you are aware about peripheral (on call).  
  
 That's it. Anything about culture, tech stack, team, expectations are childish question.  
  
 As a engineer why does "tech stack" matters ?  
  
 It only matters to content creators. 😂

I was wondering what are some good questions to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview? They always end up with -"Do you have some questions for me?". To which I often ask the following - 
1. What is your responsibility and day to day work look like?
2. What are the tech stacks that you are using?
And sometimes - 
3. What are you looking for in this role? 

The 3rd question is mostly for hiring manager. I was wondering if you could share what questions do you ask. It would be great if you could break into -

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

What questions to ask interviewer after SDE interview.

SDE 2 interviews vary quite a lot from company to company and so it confuses me on what to focus on, can senior folks please guide?
What should be prior order between these and what are helpful resources you came across:
- HLD
- LLD
- DSA
- WEB DEV OR CORE ENGINEERING SKILLS

And will my personal projects matter for sde 2 roles?

Software Developer

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Have any of you successfully aced an interview solely through tutorials, YouTube, or side projects without hands-on work experience? 
I am a SDET exploring a transition to SDE role, internally tried within my company ,not happening due to various reasons, hence trying to switch over. In order to achieve that, I've worked on full-stack sidd projects, practiced DSA, and made a good "tailored" CV that gets me interview calls. But I am currently facing mixed experiences in interviews. I am able to answer a few but struggle with some questions and seek advice on how to improve. Any suggestions for this career switch are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton

Software Project Manager

Hello, I have an interview coming up next week with Oracle for Site Reliability Developer 3. I was told that there will be 5 rounds. 1 screening, 3 technical, 1 HR. 

My DSA skills are pretty average so I was wondering if anyone had any past interview experience to share for a similar role at Oracle.

I would like to know what kind of coding questions would be asked in technical rounds.

Looking for Site Reliability Developer interview experience

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hey Folks, Since I come from software engineering background so looking for some help from you all. 

One of my friend has about 6yr of experience working as Senior DataScientist and he is pretty good at the work. I see him continuously brushing up with almost latest things happening in ML space. He is now looking for job switch but struggling to get interview call and not able to clear rounds for scheduled interviews. Something is going off in his case, dont know what. 

I really want to help him so Pls help me with this question -

1. What are the companies hiring for DS2 or Senior DS role for now?
2. What is the expectation from a Data Science candidate in the interviews?
3. What are the popular interview questions that are being asked these days?
4. If possible please share your recent interview questions.

This would be really helpful to all other folks as well who are preparing and are in the same route

Data Science Interviews

I believe most of the questions available on the internet are quite redundant to test someone's system design knowledge.

I'm not looking for typical questions like building YouTube/Instagram/Whatsapp, which are only for beginners.

I'm looking for questions which you are able to answer on the basis of your personal experience, in depth questions. 

e.g how did you use indexing/sharding/query optimisation/rate limiting etc in your project?  what would you do in a so&so situation?

the questions which show me whether a person has actually worked on the systems instead of just having the theoretical knowledge.

I know it depends on how the interviewer asks the question, because it's supposed to be vague but I'm still looking for very specific questions.

So please tell me, what are such questions which you like to ask someone or the questions which you were asked in an interview ?

or just share your interesting system design interview experience, would be helpful to others.

Hello people,
We are building a recruitment platform to make hiring easy and fun. Having worked with a recruitment startup, we weren't able to hire for our own team. Hire first, fire faster mode ON tha humara.

So, we found this gap mostly in the early stage startups who don't invest in their recruitment properly.

So can you guys please share your experiences with landing a job with early stage startups.

I am working as senior SDET and want to to job change as Lead SDET. I will be giving interview after 5yrs, quite nervous about my preparation.
What all topics which majorly company asks?

Need Interview prep tips for Lead SDET/Automation engineer

I graduated in 2021 and have worked in startups across EdTech, Cloud Communication, and currently in FinTech at a Series A startup. After 1.6 years in my first role, I pursued a 23% pay increase but faced a layoff after 10 months. Now, despite my experience, I'm finding it challenging to secure interview calls for an SDE 2 position.

I currently work at a Series A startup where I joined after accepting a pay cut.(little above my first company ctc😢 and working for 7 months). My Job is really writing bunch of code but not designing or implementing any prominent systems as i am still SDE-1.

I'm genuinely seeking your advice:
1️⃣ How do frequent job changes early in one's career impact hiring decisions, especially in different tech sectors?
2️⃣ Given my tech skills and startup background, what strategies can I employ to strengthen my resume for an SDE 2 role?
3️⃣ How significant is the company's reputation when considering a move to a more established startups/MNCs?
4. Is it worth changing or should i continue but pay is low than previous and i am not doing any sde 2 level job.

When asked at the end of the interview, what questions do you generally ask the interviewers? There can be two types of interviewers, one from the PM org and the other from the engineering org (in later rounds) and usually senior folks. What type of questions can be asked to both types of panels?

Interview

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Never interviewed in big tech for SDE-2, I have a interview scheduled at Amazon. Just wanted to know what type of problems they ask ? If anyone recently given interview for Amazon can you please share experience.

Share your interview experience with Amazon for SDE-2

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. 

Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. 

So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. 

Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. 

I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. 

How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

How bad is the job market?

Just a advice: 
  
 Never do the assignment for any company.This company will ghost you every time after the assignment or will offer lower pay / lower position. 
  
 Companies just try to get ideas via the assignment

To all the SDE out there what exactly are you involved in like do you do web development frontend backend javascript or so on ? Or is it specific to languages using c++ java and related?
