There are two interviewers in last round Senior engineer and probably a new grad, 2nd person lead the round. I did the coding question before, but I couldn't recall optimal method. I did nearly 150 leetcode problems, focused on top interview questions. I felt, I should start revising the problems. Do I need to solve more questions? can any one please give me suggestions ? I am also looking for referrals at big tech companies & startups. can any one please refer me ?

Are you targeting ml engineer roles only? If so no point in doing more leetcode. Better to focus on ml stuff.

Do I also need to focus on system design & OO design ? What kind of system design questions/OO design questions can be expected for MLE?
