Confluent onsite, system design got me
Replies (4)
went through something similar last month, coding was fine for me too and SD is what got me. felt like the bar there was just higher than the coding rounds
yeah that matches what I'm hearing from you and a few others. kinda wish they gave more color on what a passing answer even looks like
damn the temp email one always sounds like a nightmare, seemed like people get torn up on the persistence part specifically. did they say what they wanted for that part
yeah I think they wanted some kind of ttl or cleanup story instead of hard deletes, at least that's what I gathered when I went through it. could be wrong tho
SD at Confluent felt deeper than I expected too when I went through it, worth prepping beyond the basics if you're going for it
agreed, mine was more about tradeoffs and pushback than just drawing boxes. caught me off guard the first time
sorry man, their loss honestly. passing both coding rounds is still solid, you'll get it somewhere else
