Work Log

• Did a bunch of SQL questions from interviewbit
• Read a bunch of interview questions on databases sharding, indexing, joins and queries.
• Interview at statusneo
• Read more on pointers in go and formally put notes in text for the blog.
• Noted most of the questions that I was stuck in the interview and added answers to some of them.
• Applied for one job today at GrowthX

Remark

• While doing SQL I realised not that good with raw SQL should at least do one question a day to get a good refresher. I could come up with the query but it took a lot of time.

• Interview was average.

  • Things that helped in the interview

    • Open Source contributions, should focus more on that.

  • Things I can work on

    • Explaning my past experinces better. I can prepare a script.
    • Explanation of the gap that I am taking and why I left my last job. A script would help here.
    • How to explain better, all the Python questions I knew even had blogs on a couple of those but still I struggled to communicate my thoughts. Maybe I should write more and have notes specially for questions that are common.
    • Explaning my thought process better when solving questions DSA or just system design question. The awkward silence isn't doing well I think.

• Once a week I should pick up system design question, I took a lot of time on those questions today.
