Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:
1. For the RRK2 case study if there is a scenario for handling peak time workloads where the client did a lift & shift of a monolithic architecture, is the best suggestion to move them to micro services to enable serverless and auto scaling features?
2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

I am currently a restaurant manager. There are two of us who got promoted at the same time. Shortly after, the other manager moved in with the GM (both female). The GM is also best friends with the higher up’s wife. I am not close with anyone. I come to work to do my job, not create friendships. Especially not that close of friendships. I am treated differently for sure. My work is nitpicked and constantly negatively criticized. I want to do well and succeed, but I feel like an outcast. Help?
