Network Engineer Interview Preparation Guide - Junior Level (FAANG Standards)

FAANG-style interview process for junior network engineers typically consists of 6-7 rounds designed to assess networking fundamentals, hands-on technical skills, basic system design thinking, security awareness, and cultural fit. The process emphasizes both depth of knowledge in core networking concepts and the ability to troubleshoot real-world problems. Junior-level candidates are expected to demonstrate solid foundational knowledge, some hands-on experience with network equipment, and the ability to work independently on well-defined network tasks with occasional guidance.
