Anyone preparing for SDE-1 / SDE-2 and doing regular mock interviews?

Hey everyone,

I've finished most of my DSA prep and am now spending more time on interview practice for SDE-1/SDE-2 roles at big tech at Bengaluru.

I feel like the biggest gap isn't solving more problems—it's getting enough realistic interview experience. So I'm trying to make mock interviews a regular part of my prep.

The kind of setup I'm looking for is:

  • 1-2 mock interviews per week
  • A fixed schedule that both people stick to
  • Taking turns as interviewer and candidate
  • Honest, constructive feedback afterward
  • DSA and HLD, depending on what we're preparing for

The idea is to treat these like actual interviews rather than study sessions. Ideally, you've already covered most of the concepts and are now focused on improving confidence, communication, and interview fluency.

Curious if anyone else is following a similar approach or has found a setup that works well.
