queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:16 AM

#

how would you recommend preparing for the sys design?

#

is there any low level stuff?

#

fair

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:16 AM

#

Honestly it was mostly sys design

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:16 AM

#

or is it more high-level sys design

#

like in the primer

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:16 AM

#

I’d def read and practice

#

It’s building and designing distributed systems most of the time

#

Hello interview on yt is a good source of practice

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:17 AM

#

ah fair

#

did you have any prev experience with low level stuff

#

i do not, kinda concerned

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:17 AM

#

My role was for fullstack so didn’t really need to know a lot of low level

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:17 AM

#

is this for starlink?

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:17 AM

#

I’m a fullstack dev rn haven’t done a lot of low level

#

Nah

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:17 AM

#

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:18 AM

#

oh wait is this not new grad?

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:18 AM

#

It’s not a “ng role” title but they’re paying me like an entry level role lol…cuz I graduated in may

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:18 AM

#

ohh ok i see

#

fair

#

i wonder if ng process if diff

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

I didn’t find it a recruiter reached out to me

#

I’m pretty sure ng roles have a reproducible process

#

Not as specific as what I went through

queen tree Dec 6, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

ah ok

orchid viper Dec 6, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

queen tree ah ok

From everyone I talked to they don’t ask lc style questions and really focus on system design so if you get really good at that you should be fine, idk tho i was super lucky
