That seems to be too generic of a YT search. Do you have a link by chance?

cool not a lot of videos and not together v long. very bingeable/studyable like for an exam 😆
sensitive-blue•12mo ago
every single video
has pretty much 95% of what you need
was way better than when i bought the paid course grokking the system design interview
keep in mind, i actually built the services as they explained them too
as it really helped with the practical applications
plus tradeoffs
ambitious-aqua•12mo ago
❤️
oh idk about building the services myself oof
sensitive-blue•12mo ago
i mean, i dont think personally it's enough to just watch the video
for ex

when designing a metadata service
how would you know the pros/cons of deploying one using central registry vs gossip protocol?
play around with zookeeper... .etcd.... consul...
every single slide i would recommend building it yourself
so you undrestand the breadth of each tech
+ you can explain very easily to an interviewer the types of tech used when describing systems

do they ask sys design like this for sdet/qa and/or devops roles?
sensitive-blue•12mo ago
devops yeah
idk about sdet/qa
flat-fuchsia•12mo ago
Very cool. Maybe this will help me fake my way to a principal engineer role someday 😂.
@totaldev what is/was your title or level at your w2s, if that's not too much to share?
sensitive-blue•12mo ago
Both staff SWE
I got promoted recently at faang
flat-fuchsia•12mo ago
Congrats!
Staff is under principal, right? I don't understand these weird ass titles. Staff being higher than senior is so odd
ambitious-aqua•12mo ago
staff > prinicpal > distinguished
flat-fuchsia•12mo ago
Distinguished being the highest? Your arrows could be interpreted as "greater than" 😆
ambitious-aqua•12mo ago
yes, highest
i've seen expert at some companies tho
vicious-gold•12mo ago
FWIW, I’ve seen Staff and Principal be the same level depending on the company.
EragonArya’s sequence is most common though.
