Sounds about right for Perplexity honestly, their bar for the infra stuff seems pretty inconsistent depending on who you get.

This is helpful, I have my onsite next week and had no idea there was a k8s round in the mix.

What did they ask in the coding onsite, and was this role specific the infra round sounds so hard

Congrats on getting through the todo list problem honestly, that one wrecked me on the phone screen.

Had almost the exact same experience with the infra round, felt like it came out of nowhere compared to everything else in the loop.

Yeah it's not really something you can cram for unless you've actually run k8s in prod before.

Did they say anything about which part of the loop you missed on or just a generic reject email?

Just the generic email, no specifics at all.
