Coding
- Fault-Tolerant Work Queue
I solved the first part but got stuck on one silly bug which took a long time, but I got it to green eventually.
I coded up the second part quickly but couldn't run the code due to time. The interviewer said it should be okay, that I was very close, and that I am good.
System Design
- Metrics monitoring variation
I did okay in this round. The interviewer didn't seem to be impressed. They asked me to focus on 1 or 2 areas and said I don't need a full system design answer, but I feel they might rate me based on the overall setup.
Will I get another chance or will I get rejected? I am so nervous.
