I'm a Staff SWE/SRE working with a recruiter in fintech, and am being submitted to roles that are labeled things like "Systems Engineer" and require Python (which I am very proficient in) and Linux administration (which I am very not proficient in). Two questions:

How do I put forward my Google experience (borg, autopilot, resource management, etc) in ways that correlate to Linux admin?
How can I best prepare for Linux admin interview questions?

Thanks for any tips!

Hi fishes,
My friend have cleared Tata Elxsi interview 5 months back and received her offer letter. Still now she haven’t recvd a joining letter. Couple of other friends are also facing similar issue.
Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.

In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
