A SBI CEOs salary is around 38L + perks. Don't ask for 1cr per annum. You aren't that big.

Peace bro I'm with you on not asking such questions in the interview.

Such Interviews questions doesn't mean that you need to handle 100k RPS/s on the job

its just to test if candidate can think and apply certain software engineering design principles at hand. Understand approach how do they handle corner cases ( if they can identify) technical depth, also good way to test fundamentals.

For eg https://www.morling.dev/blog/one-billion-row-challenge/

Such problems really pushes candidates to thier limits. I love to go deep in OS & database, distributed systems.

Would love to see, discuss what interesting tough engineering problems you folks ask in interviews?

And some startup pays equal or more than google.. so it make sense for them to have these high level expectations

Pay does not correlate with number of request serving by backend services.
In reality, you would be taking shortcuts to ship features on strict deadlines
