I'm approaching my onsite and would like to know a little more about the types of system design questions I could get asked in my upcoming rounds. I'm interviewing for IC4 (Enterprise Engineer, so similar to E4 SWE).

I realize that NDAs are a thing, so I'm not asking for specific topics, but rather tips on the types of materials I should be using to prepare over these next few days. Maybe some non-specific tips about the types of systems I should be prepared to build.

I just went back to Grokking the SDI and started going through some of the questions there, making sure to come up with a design on my own first. I'm mainly focusing on larger Facebook-scale systems like FB Messenger, the FB/Instagram news feed, Ticketmaster, etc.

If anyone has any recommendations for Youtube channels, books, articles, etc., I'd really appreciate it! I've been reaching out to my recruiter for the last week but haven't gotten any response — I owe a huge debt to the Blind community for helping me prep.
