How to compete the senior software engineer position from Facebook?

August 23, 2019

Introduction


It is my personal finance research. I like to challenge myself to find best way to grow rich and build wealth. One of ways is to apply the senior software engineer position from Facebook this year.


How to compete the position?


First of all, it is tough to be selected as a candidate. I met a few managers in San Francisco, and they all told me that they like to be invited. I told them that you have to work hard, write a few show cases. They quickly asked me what I did, and how many of them.

I like to be a writer to work on this topic. I do think that I learn something from my two weeks preparation for system design.

Also it is most important to get connected to friends as well in Florida from 1999 to 2001. I like to learn from my friends' experience. Over 18 years time range, all of my friends are grown up with two kids to raise, worry about how to get their children best education in top universities.

What I did is to ask help from my old friend Tracy. She works for Google now, and she shared her tip on August 18, 2019. She told me that she went to a lot of interviews in Hong Kong, and then she had to practice again and again interview. She likes to draw the diagram about system design, I know her personality by hanging out back from 1999 to 2001. I should get myself more chance to practice as well.

Her tip definitely helped me to prepare system design interview for my August 20, 2019 onsite interview.

One thing I can think about is to find more role models for me to learn from. I think that it is also important for me to learn how to identify really good business opportunities in long run.

I need to watch out what I work on. Do not waste the time. Measure the risk and return on projects I choose to work on.


Actionable Items


I like to examine all areas I should work on to improve. One thing I can do is to work on more algorithm and data structure practice.
