3. Take-home coding exercise This is where my interview experience got horrible. They want it in Go (I was transparent, I'm new to Go). They want 2 solutions to solve an ETL problem; (1) simple solution, (2) handle a large data set (1M data records), store data a DB of your choosing, and want the whole solution to take up no more than 1GB memory & 10GB disk space. They give this same coding exercise to SWE, SRE, and what seems all engineering focused roles. (Past recruiters and their HR team have warned the hiring manager about this practice.)
2. Architecture question They send a "scenario" to explain how you would design the architecture, explain your decisions, and discuss possible ways to expand/scale your solution.
What would you pick, encryption or hashing for storing passwords in the database?
