Hi all, I'm preparing to interview for E4/E5 at Meta. I've done over 400 leetcode problems, but I'm still shaky on system design so I'm delving deep into that. So far I've done all of Alex Xu's vol 1. I was wondering if anyone knew what types of system design questions Meta frequently asks so I can focus on something further to study YOE: 3.5 TC: 115k #meta #systemdesign #design

Does Google make you design Google?
Yes, google has occasionally been known to ask people to design a “web crawler”. However, they are more notably known for asking people to re-invent the wheel (e.g. literally “design a distributed DB”) or handle one of the handful of problems (flash sale, digital wallet) that help them try to justify the mental gymnastics of literally paying for atomic clocks on their database instances (spanner)
Got Instagram when I interviewed a couple years ago
