FAQ

What is the minimum RTO the interviewers expect for a financial‑services failover? They expect sub‑5 ms RTO; any answer that cites a higher figure is automatically downgraded.

Do I need to mention specific AWS services like Aurora Global or DynamoDB Global Tables? Yes. The debrief rubric rewards concrete service names; generic “high‑availability” language leads to a “No Hire”.

If I receive a conditional offer pending a BCP, should I accept? Accept only if you can deliver the BCP within the 48‑hour window; failure to do so has resulted in rescinded offers for at least three candidates in Q4 2023.
