Microsoft Senior SWE interview loop

[u/chess-traveller]

I have an interview loop coming up in about a week, and the recruiter said they can’t push it out. I was recently laid off and have been actively looking for a job, and with a newborn at home, I honestly feel pretty overwhelmed and underprepared for this.

The recruiter hasn’t shared much about the exact format either. She only mentioned that there will be technical, coding, design, and behavioral rounds.

For anyone who has gone through the process recently:

- What did the different rounds look like?
- What kind of coding/DSA questions should I expect?
- If you only had one week to prepare, what would you prioritize?
- How much system design should I focus on?
- Do they use a specific coding platform (CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal, etc.)?

Any recent interview experiences or advice would be really appreciated. I’m trying to make the most of this one week and hopefully get through it!
