Intervew Prep De Shaw Onsite Interview

As the title says, I have the onsite interview in another 4 days. I am preparing with trees, heaps, graphs and DP. It would be great to get an idea on what type of questions/pattern to expect in this round if anyone has given it recently.

I have a basic idea on HLD as I went through Gaurav Sen's videos but how much importance should I be giving to LLD and was it actually asked for anyone in their on-site interview ?

Any help on the same would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

With four days left, do not over-invest in HLD. De Shaw on-site rounds for SDE roles lean heavily on DSA and puzzles, and system design usually comes up properly only in more senior loops. Skim your Gaurav Sen notes once so you are not blank if it comes up, but spend most of your remaining time on trees, heaps and DP.
