Big-Tech Interview Prep

  • It’s a match-making process — companies are trying to see if you fit their business needs.
    • You also need to figure out whether it fits your needs.
  • Don’t try to game the system.
    • If you end up in the company, you have to explain it on your resume, and if you don’t have much to talk about, that’s going to be awkward / kind of problematic for the rest of your career.
  • Hiring a bad engineer is really bad.
    • Hiring someone who gamed the system sucks.
    • It takes away time that managers could give to other people.
    • Then you get micromanaged (they document issues with your performance)

The right way to prep

  • Consider your resume, and think about what the company can provide to you in terms of goals that you haven’t already seen before.
