1 Background
Programmers who graduated about three years ago.
At the beginning of 2021, I was working in a medium-sized education company where the leader was used to puA. A colleague resigned without warning. Because there was no negotiation, he pointed out a very complicated and big demand he left to me, which disrupted the normal working rhythm and made me feel depressed. Negotiated with his family and left after the New Year. Taking advantage of the golden three silver four, hard to fight, went to a top online education company. However, this year is the winter of online education industry, with the introduction of new regulations, the company appeared an avalanche of layoffs, when the sudden notice was cut, the head is still buzzing. Then calm down to think about it carefully, mixed. The reason is that the pace of the company’s work is very fast, there are endless every day, there is no demand for growth, tired when I feel like a dry well, the heart fast without the source of hope can moisten. This layoff, consider it a small redemption.

2 Rest for nearly three months of enlightenment
Their plan is to rest for one or two weeks, recuperate tired body and head, but did not think too idle and lazy, and the protection of compensation, decadent to the Mid-Autumn Festival around. During this period, I had many quarrels with my partner. Maybe because of my inner confusion, I no longer looked forward to my career, but more worries and fears, and I resisted finding a job. The mood is not very stable, from time to time easy to be irritated by some small things, after a long time to calm down. Later, I decided to leave for a period of time, thinking that my parents work in Guangxi. I had never been there before, so I always wanted to go there to see what they were doing.
(Because of the epidemic, I haven’t been abroad for a long time. Sitting on the plane ✈️, I am very free and happy.)
Very happy is that my mother in the face of my arrival, has been very kind and care, also don’t care about me every day in the store at home to eat and drink, idle what do not do, when it comes to finding a job, but also comfort said not to worry, take your time, healthy and happy best. Guangxi cuisine is so much, WHEN I left, I put on two pounds.
After the trip, I had peace of mind and some strength. Before I left, my mother said I was too fat and wanted to lose weight. In a certain sound saw a kind of called, light cut off the diet method, eat less high-quality carbohydrates, drink more water, a month later lost 10 pounds or so. Before the heart is very difficult to calm and happy, often indulge themselves, through the desire to stimulate themselves, so that some people can not lose weight, may be because the heart is too bitter.
Then the National Day came, and I went out to eat and play with my family for a few days. During this period, I began to think about what TO prepare for the interview. In the middle of October, the interview began.
3. Something interesting and worth thinking about during the interview
Preparation for the interview, mainly Java basics, mysql, redis, kafka series of courses or books review, leetcode in the top100 questions review ideas. Project experience, the previous project, which others may ask the question list, in their own words, try to do and the other side clearly understand.
, I still remember my first interview is the surface Meituan lodging sector, the interviewer is a very kind person, because confidence, we haven’t the time to start reviewing algorithm, in him out of the two algorithms I haven’t come out a case, he was asked a lot of other questions patiently, the implicit expression of want to push me to other department to try again. I wrote about him because I still feel warm.
In the interview questions, I remember that I was asked how to design a short link system and a simple distributed current limiter for three times. In my opinion, sometimes when I’m in a better state, I can easily understand what the interviewer is trying to ask, but when MY mind is not clear, I can easily roll over. I did not perform well in the early stage. For example, I was once asked about the consistency hash algorithm, but I remembered the principle and the problems to be solved when reviewing. After talking a lot, I realized that the interviewer wanted to express that it was also a way of load balancing. So, at that time, I feel my knowledge system fragmentation, I think of a way, write a knowledge point on the white paper, and then think about 🤔 whether there are other connections, draw a thinking brain map, memory can be more clear, answer the question can respond faster, draw by analogy.
Nearly the end of the interview, the only feel regret regret, is busy do before demand, burnout, and does not pay attention to research some at hand with the principle of middleware or framework, for example, because of my resume wrote a regular job, the interviewer will ask you to understand the distributed task scheduling platform is how to do? 😩 himself to make up for it.
In the middle of November, I finished the interview and received offers from three companies. One of the interviewers said that everyone was doing something they liked and found it attractive, so they took everything into consideration and chose this one.
(Note some of the questions asked during the interview.)
