Role? Infrastructure?

[somber mica]

MTS working on infra and scaling yea

[lament zenith]

Can I dm? I have this proc coming up

[somber mica]

just ask here twinnem

[lament zenith]

How'd the whole proc look for you? I have my HM interview coming up, first round weirdly enough

what would you reccomend I prep for technical portions?

[somber mica]

it was not that bad

it was the HM

we dove deep into resume

and then bc it was infra and scaling

we dove deep into that

then techs were harder for sure

HM is easiest round

just prep for what they told you in the email

[lament zenith]

What happened during the technicals if you don’t mind me asking, was it leetcode or system design?

Also how many rounds was it total

[somber mica]

technicals have different formats

LC wasnt a main focus tho but be ready to code

mostly design probs

5 or 6 rounds

i forget

i think 5

[lament zenith]

I see

Mine is primarily a kubernetes role nothing to really do with ml

I saw your larger thread as well thanks for all of your input!

[somber mica]

ye np np

for the kubernetes role

know k8s and helm

super super thorougly

and in depth

[lament zenith]

I see, I run my own k8s homelab so hopefully that transfers 😭

I’ve deployed using helm charts but haven’t made helm charts tbh

Sorry, last question. You think I should know ML stuff for this? I worked at an AI lab as an intern but my specialty is more devops/kubernetes I know nothing about ml candidly speaking

[somber mica]

nah for that role

devops is perfect

k8s is perfect knowledge

just make sure to showcase it

[lament zenith]

Awesome thank you so much!

[lament zenith]

How’d you prep for sys design? Mine is only 3 rounds fortunately. The only tech being system design

[somber mica]

theyll tell you the format

just prep that format

do mock interviews

ask claude

all that

[lament zenith]

Thanks goat

[somber mica]

np np

[lament zenith]

Moved onto the technical! Thanks for your help so far!

[lament zenith]

Was your system design portion a problem you tackled in the past? Like for mine they said to present a problem you faced during an internship and how you solved it and bring prepared diagrams and stuff, was that similar to what you did?
