Hi all, Yes i know about the ban, and yes i know tiktok is 996, but im still trying to get an offer first. Currently on 3rd round for global e commerce for swe 2-2. This is 3/4 round, with HM in china. Hr told me it would be about System design, CS fundamentals, Project Experience, Domain Knowledge, FE technical questions, Resume Deep dive and behavioral questions. Anyone have any tips on what type of question is asked since the scope seems to be just about everything. What system design/ front end questions do they ask? And domain knowledge? Im stressing trying to prepare so any help would be appreciated! #tiktok
WHY
Chinese ?
Be prepared to do sd in 20 mins and answer all the nonsense 🙃
If you’re stressed preparing for this interview, it’s only going to get worse, especially since you’re joining the e-commerce org. I would only recommend this place if you’re really desperate for a job or you have visa issues.
I think a lot of it is me giving my own pressure. Since I dont know what to expect, and i know tt interviews are tough. I feel like if the hm from china wanted to fail me, he can easily ask questions outside of my scope or breadth of knowledge
Whats wrong with the ecommerce org ? Isnt that the most happening thing going on at tiktok right now (except the ban lol)
Had my SD round over a year ago and got blindsided with a LC hard at first, solved it pretty quick, then followed up with a pretty generic SD problem. Interviewer was a higher up leader based in China. YMMV depending on interviewer.
Usually swe is leetcode medium/hard one interview, followed by system design question such as “design an x system to solve your problem what will need to be considered what technologies and resources and how would it be engineered” and then hiring manager fit/personality interview with additional ones added if it’s borderline. Swe is less 996 than sre
Ty for your input! Appreciate it
Please join tt, so I will never have to hire you for my startup
If you are not chinese, you will barely survive and will likely never get a promotion 😂. Staying afloat as 2-2 is also problematic since they have a quota got M-. Either you become a Chinese or you better suck everyone’s d***.
Could you share what kind of questions were asked in Round 1 & 2?
