[clever mulch]

gl fellow gmir

[noble compass]

how’s the technical?

[clever mulch]

it's a pretty easy question

at least mine was and the ones i've seen online were

just basic CLI thing

i made a point to specifically ask the interviewer what he thinks and if x decision seemed right at a few points

[noble compass]

CLI like the take home ?

[clever mulch]

yeah similar ish

[potent dawn]

@clever mulch got technical interview. help me dwg 😭

For me, they specified Systems design question

We’ll present you with a Systems Design problem that you’ll take the lead on solving with your interviewer.

Did you get the same email?

[clever mulch]

wtf

mine was like this

Pair Programming:

You will participate in a 35 minute Pair Programming activity with a Shopify Developer. We’ll present you with a problem that you’ll take the lead on solving with your interviewer. You’ll be the ‘driver’ writing the code, but you’ll work together on the solution. We’ll share the problem, and you’ll solve it in your Integrated Development Environment.

are you applying ft?

[potent dawn]

oh wow.

[potent dawn]

No i applied for SDE co-op

[spark vine]

bruh why did they say I'm getting a system design question too

[potent dawn]

Crazy, I never did Systems design before. Maybe they are sending it for people with exp.

or some school coop board thing

[potent dawn]

Yeah 2025 Engineering Internship Application

[dense prism]

I think it might also depend on what team you applied for?

like I put backend and infrastructure as my top two preferences

and was told mine would be system design

[clever mulch]

what were the options

i forget what i put down

if i had to guess i'd say i'm in process for frontend

[dense prism]

there was a ton of options

frontend, mobile, security, data science/engineering, ML

and more

[clever mulch]

oh shit i applied day 1 and i think i could only select 1 thing from there

prob full stack then

[potent dawn]

lol I selected all just to increase my chances

[crimson pewter]

Yeah ig they just afked for a few days for me

[warped nacelle]

did you get it

[warped nacelle]

oh shit

congrats 🥳

[clever mulch]

nope

she said sometime this week and gave her email in case i hear nothing

[potent dawn]

Would you happen to know what tool we'll be drawing the design on?

I don't understand why we need to code if the problem is systems design question smh

tbh my interviewer changed last minute i think, it wasnt the one they initially specified

[crimson pewter]

C.M I think

[novel kettle]

after tech, i thought i did fine on tech

[crimson pewter]

Feels bad man

[foggy jewel]

was i the only one who didnt do OOP for the tech? lmao.

Like ik OOP would be better but time constraint

[novel kettle]

mine was like a game with user input that i chose to use oop for

[foggy jewel]

when did u email them?

[potent dawn]

Bummer, they sent me this "You can expect to code for the duration of the Pair programming interview!"

[dense prism]

well that sure is helpful 😂

they haven't even replied to my email yet but I'll give an update if they say something useful

[spark vine]

😂

[potent dawn]

Just gave my interview it’s simple cli problem huh

No reason to mention systems design at all

[dense prism]

yoo just did mine too

yea it was like stupid simple

[dense prism]

let me know when u hear back

im sitting here nervously twiddling my thumbs

[potent dawn]

Sure lol

[warped nacelle]

[dense prism]

[noble compass]

I wonder what they’re doing

[dense prism]

I didn't get the shopify portal tho, has that happened for anyone

[noble compass]

Like after first round of offers, they’ll do a 2nd batch?

[warped nacelle]

dms

[warped nacelle]

yea

[dense prism]

weird

[warped nacelle]

first round they take as many people as their is hc for. if everyone passes theres no more rounds

if people fail, theres more rounds

[prisma tusk]

for me, the link to set up portal came a couple hours later than the interview invite

[dense prism]

ahh good to know, ty!

[foggy jewel]

Getting it on the same day is a good sign. Good luck

Portal comes couple hours later

[dense prism]

tyty, did you get yours

[foggy jewel]

na

[dense prism]

damn that sucks, best of luck for the next round tho

[spark vine]
