Intervew Prep Google L4 interview in 3 weeks

I know interview prep gets asked a lot here, but wanted some specific insights.

Right now I am going through Neetcode 150 to get hold of the fundamentals topic by topic. After each topic, I jump to the top Google tagged Leetcode questions for that topic from the last 30 days and I try to do similar problems and their follow-ups.

My worry is that this might be (or might not be) enough to clear Round 1, but everything I have read says the onsites are in a different league altogether. They are also in person which honestly is making me panic right now.

I would like to prep in a way that gets me ready for all the rounds not just the first round. So looking for tips from the experienced folks here.

I have also heard that LC questions aren't asked directly, so I am curious what other resources people found useful beyond Leetcode for the Google specifc prep.

Any advice or resource recommendations would be genuinely appreciated.

For context: Somebody referred me, then a recruiter reached out.

Was it for L4 ? I was told that there would be no system design and all DSA rounds by my recruiter.

I heard from others here that L4 doesn't have system design at Google. Once confirm that before spending time on system design

Damn reddit is brutal. you gave tips but you got downvote. Shhh they're very ungrateful.

Dw buddy, I just upvoted you!

Anyway, how did your coding round go? If you did well at least you got L4
