What are the best books/websites for system design interview preparation
Planning to leave FB next year (for bad WLB reasons if you’re curious). What are the best resources to prepare for system design interviews?

You work at damn Facebook. You should know system design better than anyone else.
I joined as a new grad. So I have never given any system design interviews. (Actually design may be I know, but my question was specific to interview preparation)
Checheckzz github - https://github.com/checkcheckzz/system-design-interview/blob/master/README.md Grokking the system design interview - https://www.educative.io/collection/5668639101419520/5649050225344512 System design primer github - https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer Designing data intensive applications book - https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Data-Intensive-Applications-Reliable-Maintainable/dp/1449373321 Also this YouTube channel is pretty solid - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1XnDWhsLS5URXTi5wtFTA I haven't read the designing data intensive applications book yet but I've heard it's great. For me grokking and checkcheckzz helped the most. Try to read one or 2 articles per day while you eat breakfast or lunch. Rehearse system design problems in your head without looking at material and imagine how you would walk an interviewer through the design. Try to read each article multiple times
Wow those seem to be really good resources. Thanks a lot @Xkv
Ugh dude with Grokking. $70, can't afford that.
