System design interview preparation

Hi Looking for suggestions on resources which will be useful in preparation for meta system design interview. TIA

Few people asked me for my recommendations on Tech resources - I'll divide across following sections - 1. CS Fundamentals - Its a recommended flow that you should know beyond knowing how to code. Follow this - https://teachyourselfcs.com/ 2. DSA - a) https://neetcode.io - Its blind 150 is awesome. Its paid courses are also decent b) CLRS book (How can we leave that?) 3. System Design resources - a) System Design interview Vol 1 and 2 - Alex Xu OR you can take annual subscription of their website - https://bytebytego.com b) The OG book - DDIA - this is a must read and has very high ROI 4. Backend Engineering - - Learning Backend development like a curriculum - https://boot.dev - Coding challenges a) For beginners to experienced - https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/intro b) For experienced folks - (codecrafters.io) https://app.codecrafters.io/r/adorable-eagle-556273 (Referral) 5. Software Engineering - What Software Engineering truly is? - Software Engineering at Google Book(Oreilly) 6. DevOps / AWS - a) AWS course - https://learn.cantrill.io/ - To learn more in depth than just passing certifications b) Other DevOps resources - kodekloud.com (all devops tools, especially kubernetes ones are good) c) What SRE truly is? - Site Reliability Engineering book (Oreilly) 7. Promotions / Impact / Growing in the role - a) JoinTaro - Website where you get answers to your questions about promotions, impact etc. https://www.jointaro.com/r/sarvajs408/ - Check the founders posts on linkedin on what to look for b) Software Engineering Handbook by Gergely 7. Misc / Good to read - a) Head first series by Oreilly publication (Design Patterns, OOAD) b) Chaos Engineering (Oreilly) If you guys think we can add more things, where you know the resources are absolute best to be recommended for the return on investment(time, money) they give, please do drop in your recommendations in the comments

I am preparing for interviews and for DSA resource following Strivers YouTube channel and for development referring Harkirat . Can you please suggest me some resource or playlist for System design ?

I am preparing for interviews and never had any system design round before. Not sure how should I start preparing. I know there are lots of videos out there, but don't want to follow some random posts. Seen posts from bytebytego but they are most random posts . Rather looking for a way to learn systematically from scratch even though I might many of them. Looking for free resources

Is it good to invest money in System Design course from Gaurav Sen? So much free good quality content already available on internet.

I am an early career dev with a few years of experience primarily in the frontend domain. I want to read atleast 2 technical books next year to upskill in general as a software engineer. Please share your recommendations.

SDE 2 interviews vary quite a lot from company to company and so it confuses me on what to focus on, can senior folks please guide? What should be prior order between these and what are helpful resources you came across: - HLD - LLD - DSA - WEB DEV OR CORE ENGINEERING SKILLS And will my personal projects matter for sde 2 roles?

I am 2023 grad. I have joined a product based company. Next year, I want to join a good company like Rubrik, Uber, DE Shaw, Bloomberg etc. What should I learn? How to utilise this year to switch to a good company? PS: For me, a good company means high salary and challenging work environment. I don't care about work life balance.

I have 9 years of experience in software development.Is the paid course by Gaurav Sen about system design on interview ready really useful? Thinking of buying it for interview preparation.
