First, I was asked about the CAP theorem. I needed to confirm that with Partition Tolerance (P), you can't have both Consistency (C) and Availability (A). Consistency means getting up-to-date data. Then, I was given a dynamic programming problem. I had to come...
I was asked about model complexity and its impact on bias and variance, and also about gradient vanishing. The coding question was similar to LeetCode 815, but with pins and boards instead of other elements.
The coding question was not a standard LeetCode problem. I was asked to implement a system to determine if an IP address is on a blocked list, discuss the complexity, and improve the solution. I felt I answered well, addressing implementation, optimization, an...
## Preparation Tips & Key Takeaways ### What I Learned - It's crucial to manage the interviewer's expectations and guide the conversation to cover all necessary aspects, even if they interrupt frequently. - Even if I know a solution, clearly communicating the...
During the phone screen, I had a coding question: Given the array of strings `['a', 'apple', 'appz', 'b']` and the prefix `'ap'`, find the index of the first word containing the prefix. During the virtual onsite interview, I encountered two coding questions si...
## Preparation Tips & Key Takeaways ### What I Learned - I need to be prepared for multiple coding rounds during the onsite interview. - It's important to be familiar with commonly asked system design questions like rate limiter. - Be ready to discuss projects...
I interviewed for a Software Engineer position. Here's a breakdown of my experience: **System Design:** I was asked to design a typeahead system. **Coding Interview 1:** The question was to reconstruct an itinerary. This is a problem I've seen on LeetCode befo...
## ML System Design Questions and Answers ### Building a Recommender System - **Data Storage:** How should data be stored? - **Model Serving:** How should models be served efficiently? - **Candidate Selection:** - How many candidates should be passed into the...
