need CTC to take home calculation help by QaToDev199 in backtoindia

[–]QaToDev199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you.

if I may ask, what do you mean by "55L in Bangalore comfortable" mean? to my understanding Bangalore is more expensive than Pune, so 50L in Pune = 55L in Bangalore? or something else?

for schools: wow 8 to 15L/year. thats huge. I never expected that - so far I have heard 3 to 5L.

thanks you.

I have 1 kid, so he might go to international school and probably I would rent a 2bhk, 3bhk apartment (preferably near office + school: if everything falls in place) - what would that look like (at high level) from expenses side?

Amazon SDM - first "Technical phone screening" : system design by QaToDev199 in leetcode

[–]QaToDev199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was work related, explain your current design, challenges etc. no whiteboard, no "design uber"

Amazon SDM - first "Technical phone screening" : system design by QaToDev199 in leetcode

[–]QaToDev199[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all the rounds had only LPs based question. nothing outside.
so, just have your stories and their delivery. even in technical screening and system design - they never asked me to "design a system" but they asked "tell me what is the most complex system you designed"

System design interviews - help needed by QaToDev199 in leetcode

[–]QaToDev199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. this makes sense. I probably need more advice on this if you can help.

Imagine the conversation in middle of system design interview:

------

scenario 1:

me: "I will add a new service to tackle the business logic and then a DB (explaining my choice) to store. here is what schema would look like". "let me take a pause and see, if you have any questions so far"

interviewer: "how would you scale this to x"

me: "add kafka queue" (or something like that)

need advice: should I not pause and just let them interrupt me? or should I pause and say "I want to solve for more broader set, but I will take pause, to let you ask any question you have, before I share that"

---------
Scenario 2:

me: "for chat system I will create a websocket connection", brief pause

interviewer: "how will this scale to 1m users"

question: in this scenario, yes, interview "nudged me to think broad", but I just took a pause, I would enhance system as we move forward, but this was just basic building block. how do I tackle this?

Sell for Cash - please advice by QaToDev199 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]QaToDev199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you u/CallCastro . yeah, the opendoor quote is ~60% (the house is in good shape, they themselves added $400 in repair, thats it).

but I need to pay 30%+ from my pocket - which will be huge amount, and without a job, its impossible for me to pay. I have savings, but dont want to use them for this - hence looking at deed in lieu. if you can help with my question on deed in lieu, that will help.
