I have my design round with Google for L5 next week. Apart from Grokking the System Design interview what are some of the other materials I should go through? In my current job I haven't had the opportunity of building systems for scale which I think poses as a limitation for me. I am really keen to give this interview my best shot acknowledging I am not in the best position to outperform in this.
Google is infamous for down leveling so beware. Make sure you do extremely well in your design rounds to get that L5 position otherwise they're going to offer you an L4. Also they know how majority of the candidates are crazy about G's brand value so better to have a competing offer to get maximum leverage.
