Meta Database Administrator (Entry Level) Interview Preparation Guide

Meta's interview process for entry-level database administrator roles follows a structured progression: an initial recruiter screening to assess background and motivation, followed by two technical phone screens covering SQL fundamentals and system design thinking, and then four onsite interview rounds evaluating database design, query optimization, operational competency, and cultural fit. The process emphasizes practical problem-solving, understanding of scalability challenges, and learning potential rather than deep expertise.
