Staff engineers+ or equivalent, what's your system design resources?- Grapevine

Hey Guys,

I’m a front end developer closing in on 10YOE. 
Looking at the current market, I want to be interview ready before push comes to the shove. 


However I am looking for resources for system design rounds. I have seen companies have different expectations for system design from front end roles. 

Thanks in Advance. Cheers!

Is it to sufficient to read books like Design data intensive applications and books from Alex Xu sufficient for system design interviews?
 
If not, then what other resources would help?

Thanks in advance!

System design interview preparation

Hi Grapeviners,

I have close to 3.5 YOE as a software engineer. I am thinking of starting to prepare for interviews. Before joining my current org, I  was a good/average coder on CP platforms. I want to restart this again, but am overwhelmed with 100s of resources. I want to start CP, frontend, backend and system design. Are there any resources which you have used while preparing for SDE2 interviews. Even if you have resources for one of the above topics, please add in the comments as it might help someone. Also, if someone is preparing and interested to prepare together please DM me.

Thanks

Prep for SDE2 interviews

What are the best resources till now you got for system design for 1 yoe+

What is best system design course available? 
Could you please list top 3 in order with best as 1. 
Also mention what type of candidates are best suited for each course.

I’m currently going through interview ready- Gaurav Sen. And find it hard to follow since I have almost never done system design. Hence I find it ok-ok , are there any better ones out there? I know grokking is one more. Please provide suggestions with course name and best suited for what professionals(eg , beginner with no exposure to system design , 5 yoe with some exposure to system design , advanced with high exposure system design)

Few people asked me for my recommendations on Tech resources -

I'll divide across following sections -

1. CS Fundamentals - Its a recommended flow that you should know beyond knowing how to code. 
Follow this - https://teachyourselfcs.com/

2. DSA -
a) https://neetcode.io - Its blind 150 is awesome. Its paid courses are also decent
b) CLRS book (How can we leave that?)

3. System Design resources -
a) System Design interview Vol 1 and 2 - Alex Xu OR you can take annual subscription of their website - https://bytebytego.com
b) The OG book - DDIA - this is a must read and has very high ROI

4. Backend Engineering - 
- Learning Backend development like a curriculum - https://boot.dev
- Coding challenges 
a) For beginners to experienced - https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/intro
b) For experienced folks - (codecrafters.io) https://app.codecrafters.io/r/adorable-eagle-556273 (Referral)

5. Software Engineering -
What Software Engineering truly is? - Software Engineering at Google Book(Oreilly)

6. DevOps / AWS -
a) AWS course - https://learn.cantrill.io/ - To learn more in depth than just passing certifications
b) Other DevOps resources - kodekloud.com (all devops tools, especially kubernetes ones are good)
c) What SRE truly is? - Site Reliability Engineering book (Oreilly)

7. Promotions / Impact / Growing in the role -

Software Engineering Resources Recommendations

Hi
Looking for suggestions on resources which will be useful in preparation for meta system design interview. TIA

System design interview

I am preparing for interviews and for DSA resource following Strivers YouTube channel and for development referring Harkirat .

Can you please suggest me some resource or playlist for System design ?

Best resource for system design  ?

I am preparing for interviews and never had any system design round before. Not sure how should I start preparing. I know there are lots of videos out there, but don't want to follow some random posts. Seen posts from bytebytego but they are most random posts . Rather looking for a way to learn systematically from scratch even though I might many of them. Looking for free resources

How should I prepare for system design interview,?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am PM with around 5 yrs of experience. I’m struggling to take my skill to next level. always receive feedback from management that output isn’t good, mostly that UX isn’t good. what can I do to improve my work?

1. Read books ? 
2. Study successful products from outside ?
3. Listen to podcasts 
4. Work with great product people? but hardly these exist 
5. leave this field altogether?
6. Just have patience and keep learning everyday?

Can experienced people share what has worked out well for them? or point me to some directions?

How to up your game as a Product Manager?

Currently working as SDE 1 and looking for SDE-1 opportunities only.
Asking what kind of things they ask us in interviews?
And how much they dive into them?
Like 
DSA is important. Except that what should I start preparing on?
Do companies really ask System design? If yes 
What they ask lld or hld?

What does an interviewer expect from a candidate who has less than 2 yoe?

CS Folks who took the subject Distributed Systems in your engineering, how does it help you with your System Design interviews? As far as I can remember it was an elective subject during engineering. 

Do you suggest studying Distributed Systems by say MITOCW for strengthening System Design concepts?

Could you suggest some resources for LLD & HLD?

System Design 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.

Practical System Design Interview questions to test genuine knowledge

Senior Software Engineer

Interesting thread from previous post on If candidate be asked un realistic problems in the interview

How do handle 100k RPS/s scale?
  
I believe such questions just to test if candidate can think and apply certain software engineering design principles at hand. Understand approach how do they handle corner cases ( if they can identify) technical depth, also good way to test fundamentals.  
  
For eg https://www.morling.dev/blog/one-billion-row-challenge/   
  
https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc  
  
Such problems really pushes candidates to thier limits. I love to go deep in OS & database, distributed systems.   
  
Would love to see, discuss what interesting tough engineering problems you folks ask in interviews? 

#tech #softwareengineering

Interesting tough engineering problems you ask in interviews?

Folks,
I am currently working as a Distinguished Engineer at a Series B funded startup in Bangalore. Can't disclose the company name. I am responsible for complete architecture, design, implementation, quality standards and processes of multiple products. Due to intolerable cultural issues, I need to switch soon. Any leads towards MNCs/Startups hiring for Distinguished Engineer, Senior Distinguished Engineer, CTO, VP of Engg, Principal Engineer, or Senior Principal Engineer will be helpfull. If the interview process involves more of architecture and design discussions rather than leetcode hard, that is excellent.
I am not focussed on hike and looking around my current compensation of 150LPA base.  YoE 25. I am fine with any domain. Tech stack: Golang, C++, Python and all latest large scale distributed systems technologies.

Looking for very senior IC role

Principal Engineer

LeetCode is a psyop designed by Big Tech to hire rule-followers who can grind away at pointless tasks

Please suggest some good resources where system design is well explained from basics.

I have a total experience of 4 years and I want to start learning system design for interviews.

Application Engineer

Kindly suggest some good System design questions that one should prepare for a Senior role. Pls share from your experience of what is currently being asked in interviews. Will be of great help.

Which are some good System design questions ?

Hello GV friends, please suggest the names of some software companies that will pay more than 70+LPA base/cash for 15 YOE Engineer for senior engineering roles (Staff / Sr Staff / Principal Engineer or Architect roles).

Also please include the city / location if the company is only localized to a few cities. (I'm open to relocating to Delhi-NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, or Bangalore.)

Thanks in advance for your help. 🙏🏼

Companies that pay 70+LPA base

I have 9 years of experience in software development.Is the paid course by Gaurav Sen about system design on interview ready really useful? Thinking of buying it for interview preparation.
