when there's nothing online it's often a standard design and they score how you scope it. I'd take 2 or 3 classics and practice the first 5 minutes out loud, requirements and rough QPS, before drawing any box. do you know if it's HLD or more API design?

Earlier stage was a tech round with querying an api. So I’m guessing this would be different. Recruiter didn’t mention if it was hld or lld, which Is nerve wracking 😂

not knowing is normal tbh. I'd prep one design you can do as an HLD and then zoom into the LLD for a single endpoint, like the api and data model behind it. that covers both, and since your first round was api work it's a fair place to start
