  2. "Biggest challenge/project" → STAR with technical depth
  3. "Conflict with a teammate" → Show emotional intelligence
  4. "Failure/mistake" → Honest story + what you learned
  5. "Why this company?" → Research-driven, specific
  1. “请介绍一下你自己” → 60秒职业经历简述

Technical Interview Prep

技术面试准备

Coding

编码

  • Practice 2-3 problems daily (LeetCode medium)
  • Focus on: Arrays, Hashmaps, Trees, Graphs, DP
  • Always: Clarify → Brute force → Optimize → Code → Test
  • Think out loud — interviewer wants to hear your process
  • 每天练习2-3道LeetCode中等难度题目
  • 重点关注:数组、哈希表、树、图、动态规划(DP)
  • 流程:澄清需求 → 暴力解法 → 优化方案 → 编码实现 → 测试验证
  • 边思考边表达——面试官希望了解你的解题思路

System Design

系统设计

Practice these scenarios:
  • Design URL shortener (read-heavy, hashing, scaling)
  • Design chat system (WebSockets, persistence, presence)
  • Design news feed (fan-out, caching, ranking)
  • Design rate limiter (token bucket, sliding window, distributed)
练习以下场景:
  • 设计URL短链接服务(读密集型、哈希算法、扩容方案)
  • 设计聊天系统(WebSockets、持久化、在线状态管理)
  • 设计信息流服务(扇出模式、缓存、排序算法)
  • 设计限流服务(令牌桶、滑动窗口、分布式实现)
