How’s your system round going?

[tranquil flower]

Man's keeping track 😂

[vapid citrus]

meta pe coding question has like only 25 question bank. easy to prepare.

the hard part is in system round

everyone can pass coding round

[warm island]

Plus one

[nocturne sun]

thx! sys round was mostly linux troubleshooting. they want me to interpret metrics and troubleshoot based on the given vmstat, top, iostat output.. diagnosing cases like db slow responses.. memory leak..

[sterile quartz]

Thank you for your information.

[tranquil flower]

Gotta ask, how does one start to prepare for interviews like this?

[lofty rock]

[vapid citrus]

i was asked a lot of complex networking problems in the system round.

like very practical

[warm island]

Can you share an example?

[limber holly]

Can you share the timeline? along with when you applied also

[nocturne sun]

May 12th 13th 2 screening rounds, 15th heard back; May 27th 28th final loop, June 2nd team match; hr reached out, i didnt apply for pe role.

your recruiter mention networking in the doc he sent to you? if included, will be tested. meta pe previously did not test networking, i believe they added this since last year August.

[warm island]

They have mentioned networking stack

[sterile quartz]

I would say which part of preparation doc is asked mostly depends on your interviewer.

[vapid citrus]

this is not standard testing like leetcode

usually depends on the mood of interviewers

anything can be asked

from the difficulty rank i would say meta pe >> google > amazon > coinbase

Dawg that does not help with my confidence 😭
