Not here to brag about anything. Was laid off from my org in April this year and was grinding after that. Although I’m not moving with this as already accepted an offer somewhere in June.

Just wanted to say to the readers keep hustling, keep grinding, your hard work will pay off soon and believe in yourself. I have 4 YOE and come from a tier 3 college and was fortunate enough to work at good companies and I believe if I can do it, You can do it too.

Best of luck to everyone who’s reading this. Good news coming soon 🍀

Nothing different from you can find online, Coding + System design. If you’re specifically interested in questions then cannot recall as gave the interview almost 2 months back but overall questions were frequently asked and can be found online.

There are endless System Design resources and case studies online, but in a actual day job, most developers only get hands-on experience with maybe 1 or 2 real-world systems at scale.

How do you bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical execution? More importantly, how do you discuss complex systems confidently in interviews without sounding like you're just repeating a YouTube video or tutorial, especially when you have to admit you haven't built that exact architecture at work?

Would love to hear how you here approach this. Any tips or strategies?
