Be sure to tell them your familiar with how to MECE the Chinese Silk roads which project military power on other nations effectively putting over 200,000 Muslims in prison camps. That’s a good one. They might be impressed if you say to cut costs you can kill more people?

The quantitative questions are just as much about structuring a problem as the qualitative questions are. Focus on structuring your math process well, and don’t freak out if you miscalculate a couple numbers!

Good luck OP!! I’d say remember to breath and let your wit and work experience take over!

Courage in the face of power. Be ready to defend your recommendation on thoughtful insight

I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
