Interview preparation for Senior S/W engineer roles

I got promoted to L6 SDE, 2 years back. Since then I'm stuck in low band of L6, moreover I don't feel I'm learning in my new role. I want to move out from here and interview outside. I have lost touch with skillset required for interviews (read leetcode). This forum is filled with interview preparation tips for L5 (Amazon) role. How the preparation should be different for Sr. S/w engineer roles ? How is weightage distributed across coding, design, behavioral interviews, past projects, any other area to focus on? I am focusing on to prepare for Google and Facebook as my target companies. FYI: I have interviewed for L6 roles for my current company. Asking here to get more perspectives on this. TC: 240k

When people say L5 they're generally talking about Uber/Google/Facebook levels etc. That L5 = Amazon L6

"More senior candidates also get asked other kinds of questions which I am not familiar with at Google, like system design questions." Quote from the answer. And that's specifically what I'm looking for.
