QUESTIONS
Frequently
asked
The nature of technical interviews for higher level roles is getting more complex. It isn't enough to understand the technical details of system design, coding, and architecture. As organizations attempt to weed through thousands of candidates, they are starting to pay much closer attention to foundational skills: communication, problem solving, the ability to clearly think in a systematic manner, and much more.
There are many resources to help with preparation for system design and coding interviews. But that are are very few good resources that teach you foundational skills, and the questions that companies use to validate them.
This is the point of this guide. To teach you from behind the scenes, what interviewers are increasingly looking for in these roles and the manner of questioning they use.
