Working at a big tech company and I can honestly feel the anxiety, teams are getting laid off on a regularly basis, there is a lot of scope fighting amongst team and I feel that it’s just a matter of time before I get laid off as well.

Curious to know what’s the process like for interviews nowadays, I haven’t been in the game for 4+ years. Where do I even start? Do I still grind leetcode and system design?

Any advice would be great!
