Phone: Classic snapshot sets VO: 1st Design WAL writer, single machine, highest throughput, log is durablely written before the call returns to the caller. 2nd. Map get and put and calculate QPS. 3rd. Coding, m*n tictactoe. 4th. Manager cross-functional. 5th. Architecture design, design a book seller broker. The day after the VO interview, the HR email was not moved forward, and feedback could not be shared. All the questions were from previous interviews. I only stumbled a bit in the first round of the VO interview, which might be why I failed. Job hunting while employed is very tiring; my current job is already quite full, and sometimes I need to work overtime at night, so adding more work is a bit burnout. After receiving the rejection letter, I felt that the day off I took for the VO interview was a huge waste, haha. Good luck to everyone on their job search journey, and by the way, please give me some points!
