Disproportionately high focus on leadership principles and stories about them.

It depends a lot on the level you are going for. Without that info, u will get just generic answers

Unfortunately I have no idea which level. I updated my YEO

At 5 yoe.. It's sde2 unless you have done some universe changing stuff. It will be mostly technical.. Coding, Algorithms, ds, hld, lld, system design. Few interviewers might deep dive into your past work. Read abt leadership principles and prepare 1-2 examples for each of them. u won't be grilled too much on that but failing that could mean rejection.

That’s great advice. Thank you!
