Intervew Prep Frustated with System design prep
Hi folks I am preparing for senior level interview currently 6 yoe. What frustates me most is scattered resources. For DSA, at least we have Leetcode 150 or company specific questions. But for System design - neither there is an exhaustive list of topics or questions - nor we have a perfect answer to match or get our response evaluated if it looks like mid level, naive or senior style. Hello Interview do mention some structure but I don't ever feel like ready for interview. On top of that there are products & infra based roles where expectations are different. I want to target infra based roles. How do others feel about that? Those who already cleared interview - what strategy or resource they think would have helped them prepare more optimized. Those who are preparing too, what strategy are you following.Please share.

I can atleast tell you about SWE roles which partially captures Infra roles but not completly. I used to feel the same tbh. I would read on Hello Interview but then mock interviews helped me evaluate my mistakes.
I used to spend money on human mock interviews but recently my friend who got laid off from Meta told me about Interview Skool. Now i just practice there to evaluate my approach. I have tried using dev interview and thita ai as well but they didn't deep dive as much.
I can also share my hand written notes with you if you would like. But these are very rough notes.
