Oct 12th - tech chat, Nov 8th tech1&tech2, Dec ?? Final
Canadian, 1 Faang, 3rd year
I want to ask anyone who can answer to this,
pine storm
I've been asked to join the final interview at bloomberg, and she wants my schedule for the next two weeks, but the problem is, I don't know how much time is needed to study system design, and I have school exams Dec 6th- Dec 14th. So I asked if I can have the interview on the week of Dec 18th. Did I make a good decision?
pine storm
o what school if u dont mind
Toronto metropolitan University, one of the lowest ranked school for cs in canada

theyre pretty close to being full
pine storm
uh oh
sonic sapphire
thats why they scheduled you so far out
pine storm
she wants my schedule for this week and next week
should i just do my interview while not being prepared for sys design
and bet on my luck
sonic sapphire
how badly do you need to prep for those dinals
i dont see why u cant start system design today and then do the bb final before the 6
pine storm
i want to be at the new grad level
just because this is the only interview i have at the moment, and i really want this position
sonic sapphire
idk im not u but im just guessing that bb is close to full so would do asap
pine storm
ok
sonic sapphire
system design is pretty crammable and some people dont even get it
pine storm
how do you know this though?
sonic sapphire
because they have scheuling delays earlier in the pipeline
sonic sapphire
they pushed my tech 1 a full month after i moved forward
but i dont work there so
plus, if they werent close to full, why would the recruter ask you to do it asap
oh you meant finals as in exams not swe interviews
pine storm
i have 5 school exams over the period of DEC 6th-14th
and i have this final interview from bloomberg which they are looking to book sometime this week or next week
sonic sapphire
hm yeah im not quite sure then if this is your only process
but the fact they want to schedule soon is an indicator there is a chance they might be full after 2 weeks
