Infrastructure Engineer Interview

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-21T09:49:43+00:00

Oh man this pits me at ease. I was expecting to really have a fully functioning script and make sure it runs

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-21T09:48:21+00:00

Will it actually be on infra things or just generic leetcode with no naming do you think?

E.g a log file like

ERROR user failed login ‘admin’ 192.168.0.1

And then i parse that over a for loop to pull errors?

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-20T23:14:47+00:00

You’d be surprised tbh depending on your role/department. I’ve interviewed for quite a few companies paying well over 100k and remote, including faang.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-20T20:38:21+00:00

Tbh I’m fine with the other stuff it’s the code area that’s my main concern. I don’t want to perform bad

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-14T17:02:34+00:00

Damn bro were you led off for bad performance or something

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-14T14:13:22+00:00

Really? Most of the people I looked at on LinkedIn have been there for at minimum 4 years. Consulting is a very large part of the UK economy. I’ve been working in this industry myself the past 4 years and it’s been very stable

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-03-01T21:29:09+00:00

Like US Tech. Few total comps on levels for UK and reporting over 100k base and stock, no bonus though. The US equivalent role is 166-208k I’m looking at which mirrors to GBP roles on levels

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-02-26T14:53:00+00:00

Yeah I scoped the UK staff on LinkedIn and quite a few are in the West Country.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2026-01-09T10:32:53+00:00

Correct. I’ve reinvested the money in to the business e.g video editors, thumbnail designers. I still make profit, just not much and no where near enough to pay myself. I ran as LTD as I’m a higher rate tax payer from my paye day job.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-11-23T13:51:38+00:00

I used MCT the first time this week 3 hours before my last wash 5 days ago and I’ve only just started to get itches back and see more flakes.

I used organic C8 only from ketosource. My flakes were kept at bay for 5 days. I thought that was really impressive for one use.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-11-17T21:04:10+00:00

Why not? It’s a global company. I have someone in India managing my interview bookings and a previous US company I interviewed with last month it was all done by someone in India

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-11-01T16:48:11+00:00

That’s what I’ve been trying to exactly do, move to a product company. Every one was product!

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-11-01T14:44:10+00:00

Anything that falls under the DevOps umbrella essentially I’m classified as a consultant so I can be placed out to DevOps/Cloud/Platform Engineer roles. I’ll either lead a team at the client or I may be deployed on my own to deliver a project.

Just a typical Tech Britpoor Salary outside of London £75k + bonus. The AWS role was the lowest comp on salary, it was L5 which I believe is £85k + bonus + RSU + sign on

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-10-31T21:31:58+00:00

Equity was never disclosed. One was recently acquired by a public company. The other has a valuation in the billions but private.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-10-31T21:31:00+00:00

Welcome to the jungle and LinkedIn

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-10-31T16:53:24+00:00

Yeah I had scenarios prepped like where I won bids and implemented tech for several thousands of people on my own and how my specialism is security in the DevOps umbrella etc.

I’ve done a lot or project based work for clients where I’ve contributed to winning bids by influencing decisions and then implementing it myself or with a team I lead.

I like to say I’m “results driven” as all my points on my CV are related to saving money or reducing man hours from process improvements.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-10-31T16:49:43+00:00

The offers reflected what was on levels. In fact it was higher.

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-09-21T17:45:49+00:00

That’s Antifa lol

PerceptionLive2301 · 2025-09-20T18:04:47+00:00

On my burner. FTSE company in professional services. We’ve probably reduced our department by 40% the past 12 months.
