Other Tips</h3>
<p name="e499" id="e499" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h3">Nailing an interview takes more than just
knowing how to answer common interview questions. You’ll also need to prepare questions of your own,
think about salary, and get your communications right. Here’s how.</p>
<h4 name="f617" id="f617" class="graf graf--h4 graf-after--p">Questions to ask in an interview</h4>
<p name="dd40" id="dd40" class="graf graf--p graf-after--h4">⮕As the job seeker, it’s normal to feel like
you’re being interrogated during interviews. However, at its core, an interview is a conversation, and
should be a two-way interaction. As the interviewee, you need to stay engaged and ask thoughtful
questions.</p>
<p name="c248" id="c248" class="graf graf--p graf-after--p">⮕By asking questions, you’re expressing your
genuine curiosity towards the company. This helps companies know that you’re serious about them.
Additionally, it also helps you evaluate whether the job and/or the company is really what you’re
looking for.</p>

more than a dozen questions you can ask interviewers. Here, we’ll provide a few that we think are
essential to help you gain deeper understandings about the role, company, and your future within the
company:</p>

the toolchain you used when you encountered the problem, then other technologies and tools you

of all, the interviewer would like to know the traffic level we’re expecting: 1,000, 100,000, or 10
million users per second? Think about the data expectations for each system user, database
connections (blocking/nonblocking actions), downtime specifics, and cloud considerations (if
any).</em></strong></blockquote>

the potential problems that might occur when trying to scale. Different traffic levels may have
different problems, so make sure you think this through, and decide the priorities of the problems
that you should solve. Many codebases are not built for scale, so note code changes that might need
to occur, rather than just infrastructure expectations.</em></strong></blockquote>

architectures. List the options you think best fit your scenario and explain why you choose them.
Many apps utilize a stripped-back product (which can be achieved through system architecture) when
high traffic levels affect systems, rather than crashing the product completely or users
experiencing unacceptable wait times.</em></strong></blockquote>
