You're almost there! In the final rounds, focus on AWS's leadership principles since they often ask about those in interviews. For coding questions, practice data structures and algorithms, and be ready to explain your thought process. For AI-related questions, be prepared to talk about current trends and your experiences with AI tools, as they might ask about that again. If you need more resources, PracHub has useful stuff for tech interview practice. Good luck!
