I will say the personal interaction I had with Meta recruiters (especially the initial technical sourcer) and interviewers in general was the best I've ever had with any company.

@ediancomachio2783

I've never found a YouTube video more worthwhile than this one. thank you so much for putting this out. Christian is awesome and the interview questions were 100% on point thank you again.

@lamboarun

The Best candid interview I have ever watched in YouTube to understand Hiring Manager Mind set in the current AI Era......Great Stuff

@killua5676

This guy's awesome, and made me feel a lot better about the EXACT SAME experience I just had on my own system design interview. I reached out to my recruiter to explain how it felt off, and he told me not to worry. So definitely huge help from this video on making me feel better about an awkward interview.

@3rd_iimpact

Probably best interview from a Meta EM I’ve seen. Very insightful. Thanks for this. Please keep them coming ❤🔥

@TheRealMJP

Makes me wish I knew C++ and could work for Christian's team! I'm a frontend JS developer, very excited about the future of AI (especially the UI that will arise), and talking with Meta recruiters as well.  Keep up the great content, this channel has already been super helpful!

@eastsideGK

Such a fun listen. Looking forward to more of these!

@bassimeledath2224

This was awesome to watch! So insightful as an early engineer - learned a ton.

@kavan3

Didn't have time to watch the entire interview, but the section on team matching was really insightful!

@manivannansivaraj7324

Very insightful! Thanks!

A different perspective on what AI can do and cannot do to replace SWE. As a SWE, made me feel less anxious about the future.

@khrest-lt6gj

Very informative conversation! One day I hope to have this degree of institutional knowledge of the big tech work environment. For now, just leetcode and system design practice. Thank you!

@dougpierce6139

Great interview, Stefan!  Christian seems like an amazing manager and I'd love to connect with him being an EM myself.

@awb19892

I had a couple senior engineers I worked with early in my career who ripped apart my PRs and my designs, which helped me learn a ton. At some point after sitting through a bunch of design reviews (most of which I didn't author) and listening to the senior/team lead ask all these questions, suggest we stick a queue instead of something and make it async, talk about fan-out strategies, the simplicity of immutable data vs. mutable, etc. I really learned a ton and took those lessons with me.

I still had to study a lot for design interviews because I never actually worked with web sockets and so on. I can't imagine that many people, even at FAANG companies, have created systems from the ground up (instead of coming in and building on top of what exists) that serviced millions or hundreds of millions of users. My first couple rounds of design interviews I messed up for sure.

@billieliang9220

helpful insight, thanks for sharing!

@venkatamunnangi1287

Always enjoy your insights. Thanks for hosting the interview!

I wonder how much OpenSource Development would help in team-matching or interviews

@TheKarateKidd

Artisan code 🤣🤣 That was a great one

@aforty1

Awesome interview! I wish I had watched this interview a few months ago when it first came out because I definitely had a situation where I passed a system design interview but the interviewer didn’t get L6 signals and it was kind of weird where we just weren’t on the same page and weren’t hearing each other. I wish I had reached out and seen if I could get a do-over because that interview prevented me from getting hired at L6.

@rockyalam

I like the notion of absorption rate! I do believe that you can create breadth with studying text or even leet code. But the depth is not going to be there without the "struggle" in trying to implement real life solutions with the things you have learned.

@kanesweet6585

200 years before AI replaces SWE is ridiculous. Order of magnitude off of a reasonable estimate at the current ROC

@sntnmjones

I don't demand an easy oncall, but I 100% ask how many times they're getting paged in a week.
